Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is heavy for its size and has a deep, orange color. Avoid squashes that have soft spots or blemishes.
  • Roast the butternut squash before using it: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is a key ingredient in this soup, so be sure to use a broth that you like the taste of. You can use store-bought or homemade vegetable broth.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered for just long enough to heat through and blend the flavors. Overcooking the soup will make it watery and bland.
  • Season the soup to taste: Be sure to taste the soup before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder.

Conclusion:

This garlic butternut bisque is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is creamy, flavorful, and packed with nutrients. It is also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.
