Ingredients

    3TBSP Unsalted Butter
    2 cups diced yellow onion
    1 bay leaf
    4 cups butternut squash (peeled, diced 1/2 in cubes)
    1/4 lb peeled fresh shrimp
    2tsp salt
    3/8 tsp cayenne pepper
    1/8 tsp white pepper
    5 TBSP Half & Half
    1/2 cup chicken stock
    4 cups water

Directions

1. Heat the butter in heavy-duty saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and bay leaf and cook, stirring constantly, until onions become soft, 4-5 min.
2. Reduce heat to medium and add the butternut squash. Cook this mixture, stirring occasionally, until the squash begins to soften, 8-10 min.
3. Reduce heat to low and add the shrimp, salt, cayenne, and white pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink, 3-4 min.
4. Add the 1/2 cup of chicken stock and cook, stirring occasionally, for 6-8 min. If the mixture begins to stick to the pan, scrape it with a spoon and continue cooking. This will intensify the flavor of bisque,
5. Remove bay leaf and discard. Transfer the squash/shrimp mixture to a food processor and puree. Return the puree to saucepan and add the rest of chicken stock and the half & half. Cook on medium heat for 6-8 min. Now serve.
