Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Bisque with Ginger.
Step 1
Start by gathering your ingredients and prepping the vegetables. In a large pot, combine the butternut squash, sweet potatoes, chopped onion, fresh ginger, and garlic. Pour in enough water to cover the veggies, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and easily pierced with a fork. This is where the magic begins, as the flavors meld together beautifully!
Step 2
Once the vegetables are tender, carefully remove the pot from the heat. It's time to blend! Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender or food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunkier texture, feel free to blend it to your liking!
Step 3
Return the blended soup to the pot and whisk in the yogurt for a delightful creaminess. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed. If the soup has cooled down, gently reheat it over low heat, but be careful not to let it boil. We want to keep that lovely texture intact!
Step 4
Serve your bisque warm, garnished with a dollop of yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired. This comforting soup is perfect for cozy evenings or as a starter for a special meal. Enjoy every spoonful!
