Fall brings with it a harvest of winter squash and pumpkins. One of our favorite winter squash is the humble butternut squash. We love these roasted and eaten with butter and salt like a potato and if you have any leftover they can be made into this delicious bisque. This bisque is the perfect bend of sweet and spice for cool fall weather.

Our family learned to enjoy different veggies since our son, Jordan, had a very restricted diet. You can read about it on this post. Butternut Squash became a favorite of ours with its deep orange flesh and rich pumpkin flavor. These squash are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium, and potassium; and it is a source of vitamin A.

My family gifted me a Vitamix Blender for Christmas. I used this to blend the ingredients together until smooth. Be very careful when using a blender with hot ingredients. I removed the center insert on my blender lid so that steam could escape while blending. I laid a small kitchen towel over the lid to catch any splatters. This worked very well.

Blend the squash mixture, spices, and Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges until smooth using an immersion blender or a regular blender. If using a blender, be very careful to vent the blender properly. Pour bisque into the kettle over low/medium heat until thoroughly heated. 5 1 1/2-cups servings.
• *if you are using cooked/roasted squash, cook the onion and garlic in 1 cup chicken broth until soft. Blend cooked squash, chicken broth with onions and garlic, remaining chicken broth, spices, and cheese wedges together. Pour bisque into the kettle over low/medium heat until thoroughly heated.
• I often serve this bisque with sourdough/sprouted bread products. The bread will make your meal and E because bread is a carb source.

As you can see, this bisque is creamy and smooth. I just love the sweet and the added spice form the Green Hatch Chilies. You can add regular chili powder of you prefer that.

Just look at this variety of pumpkin/squash that we harvested from our garden. I love the variety of colors, shapes, and sizes of winter squash and pumpkins.

This is one of my favorite kitchen tools…The Vidalia Onion Chopper. You can quickly cub pumpkin to can using this chopper.

This is the style Vitamix that I have. It was a learning curve on how to use it compared to a Ninja but I love it. It makes the smoothest soups, smoothies, and tomato sauce.

My hand blender is my favorite kitchen tool. It is so handy to use for anything that you want blended smooth.

Swerve has a very tasty brown sugar replacement if you don’t want to make your own.

Our family loves peppery spice…so this Green Hatch Chili powder is a wonderful addition to this bisque.

We love this variety of Butternut Squash. I have a very small garden and these can be planted to grow over a fence or a hog panel.

There are numerous dairy free cream cheeses that you can use. Here is one of them…Treeline Cheese – Tangy Cashew Cream Cheese.

I love the Angelic Bakehouse Crisps for a salty snack….they tasted so delicious with this Butternut Squash Bisque. I have two favorite kinds…Harissa & Green Chili and Tarragon Vinaigrette Fig Crisps.
