Butternut Squash Bisque Recipes

A delcious soup for fall! Had this at a fancy restaurant and was able to track down the recipe. I doubled this recipe for thanksgiving, you may want an extra half cup of squash when doubling. Enjoy! :D

Great use for all that early fall vegetable! Nice start for a fall day dinner or lunch.

Can be made fat-free by using fat-free broth and milk

The original recipe calls for whipping cream instead of half and half, but I liked it with half and half and it's not so many calories. I did not use the roux, I added more squash instead. I seasoned it more with pepper and nutmeg. I guessed on the servings, it makes a lot.

I adapted this from a recepe for fasolatha found on allrecepes.com to be more like butternut squash bisque which I had at the elephant's delecatessin in Portrland Oregon. It's a reaaly great soup for those cold autumn days and a great tasting way to get some squash into your families diet.

A Harvest time treat with a chocolatey flair

The only difficult part is cubing the squash. A good, sharp knife is key. I left out the 1/2 C whipping cream and creme fraiche garnish to reduce fat and calories. I used plain apple cider.
optional: vegetable broth instead of chicken broth

I was searching for the recipe for Safeway's Tuscan Tomato Basil Soup. I found this healthier version created by carol devenot

Creamy, hearty, rich soup

Use fat-free buttermilk to lower the fat. I couldn't find it at my grocery store.

I change this up based on what I have in the house--carrots, butternut squash, or even canned pumpkin. I like to add nutmeg, and a dash of salt and pepper, but you can season to your own tastes.

Cube the butternut squash and the potatoes. Boil all ingredients except for the milk until squash and potatoes are soft. Put into food processor and gradually add milk (you may need halve the vegetables and do it in two shifts through the processor). Once fully processed, return to stove just to rewarm. Season with salt and pepper, or any desired herbs.

The Mild sweetness of the butternut sqush is perfectly offset with a trio of fresh, savory herbs.
