Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Butternut Squash Bisque.
Step 1
Begin by warming a generous splash of canola oil and a dollop of unsalted butter in a spacious pot over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the butter has melted, toss in the diced onion and sauté until it softens and becomes fragrant, which should take about five minutes.
Step 3
Next, introduce the cubed butternut squash and diced carrots, stirring them together to create a colorful medley.
Step 4
Pour in the vegetable stock, then season the mixture with a pinch of salt, a sprinkle of ground black pepper, and a hint of ground nutmeg for warmth.
Step 5
Bring the concoction to a lively boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently until the vegetables are tender, roughly twenty minutes.
Step 6
When the time is up, carefully blend the soup in a blender or food processor until it reaches a velvety smooth consistency.
Step 7
Return the silky soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream, warming it through without allowing it to boil.
Step 8
Serve this delightful bisque warm, finishing with a light dusting of nutmeg for an aromatic touch.
Step 9
Enjoy the comforting flavors that evoke the essence of cozy gatherings and hearty meals.
