ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND SWEET POTATO BISQUE WITH SMOKED APPLEWOOD BACON



Roasted Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Bisque with Smoked Applewood Bacon image

I tried out for the show 'Master Chef' this past October in New York City. One of my fellow contestants made a pumpkin soup with applewood bacon. He made it to the next round, but sadly I did not. This is my rendition of his soup. I made it my own by using butternut squash and sweet potato and made it richer by turning this into a bisque. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Please share your comments. For less-fat option substitute half-and-half with milk or nonfat half-and-half.

2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 slices applewood-smoked bacon
1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion, chopped

SWEET POTATO BISQUE

If you like sweet potatoes and a warm savory flavor, you will love this! There is nothing like bisque!

Provided by Catherine Cantrell

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large peeled, chopped sweet potatoes
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp minced garlic
1 small diced onion
1 tsp thyme, dried
3 dash(es) nutmeg
4 c chicken broth
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in pot, add garlic and onion. Sautée until soft. Add chicken broth and bring to boil. Add potatoes to broth. Once boiling again and softened, remove from heat. Add your seasonings now. When softened use an emulsion blender or place in a food processor. Blend well. This will have almost the consistency of baby food. It's great served with a spoon of sour cream on top, or maybe a couple small marshmallows and pecans!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your bisque.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes. They should be tender, but not mushy.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can use an immersion blender to puree the soup.
  • Garnish the soup with a dollop of sour cream, crumbled bacon, or chopped chives.
