Slow Cooker Butternut Squash and Acorn Squash Bisque image

The squash in this bisque isn't hidden with creams, tons of sugar or butter. You can actually taste the vegetable and the other ingredients just compliment it. I was taken out to dinner for my birthday last week and got some wonderful Butternut Squash soup. I had an Acorn Squash and a little 1 pound butternut squash. I looked...

Time 8h25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb butternut squash
1 large acorn squash (think mine was 2 1/2 or 3lbs)
5 1/4 tsp chicken bouillon granules/cubes
5 1/4 c water
1/4 c packed brown sugar
2 tsp ground ginger (or 2 tbsp fresh minced ginger if you have)
1/2 large onion, coarsely diced (about 1 cup)
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 c low fat sour cream or plain yogurt for garnish or to stir in
1/4 tsp salt- or to taste (i did not add any)
1/4 tsp white pepper (this is a bit stronger than black pepper, go easy at first, or use black)

Steps:

  • 1. In Slow Cooker, stir/whisk in bouillon granules or cubes, water, brown sugar, and ginger. Make sure all bouillon and ginger is incorporated and add cinnamon stick, onions and all of the squash stirring to incorporate ingredients together. Cover Slow Cooker, and turn to LOW for 7 to 8 hrs.
  • 2. Once time has expired, turn off cooker and using an immersion hand held blender, break up and blend soup to desired consistency. If you do not have this type of blender, you can use a counter top blender. To do this, let the soup cool for at least an hour. Pour about 1/3 of squash mix into the blender, making sure you get some of the liquid into each batch. Place the lid on the blender and hold it down by placing a folded up towel over the lid and secure the top with your hand so the top does not fly off. Pulse a few times and blend to desired consistency. You will need to do this in a few batches. You can either transfer right away into storage containers and freeze or place in refrigerator, or you can serve right away by placing in a pot to reheat over medium heat until hot. Add any salt and pepper you wish at this time and garnish with a dollop of sour cream.
  • 3. If you would like a creamier soup, while reheating, you can add to the bisque 1/2 cup of half and half after blending or just have out the sour cream or yogurt for each to stir into their bowls.

This is a great recipe for a fall soup. The butternut squash and acorn squash flavors really shine through. I added a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it a bit of a kick.
