An autumn favorite, this roasted butternut squash bisque is so creamy and savory. The roasted garlic gives it more depth of flavor, and it can be served as a delicious soup, or as a sauce for pasta. I topped it with some baked pita chips and it was a perfect topping to go along with this rich bisque.
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425. Place the squash on one or two parchment lined cookie sheets. Wrap the garlic bulb in foil, and place along with the cookie sheets in the oven and roast for about 25 minutes, or until tender. Remove from the oven when done and let cool. When cooled, add the squash, garlic, and remaining ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. You can also add in a cup of cooked white beans to add some extra protein. If adding the beans, add in a cup of water and 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon extra salt. Alternatively, you can add everything to a large stockpot on the stove on simmer, and use a submersible blender to blend. Taste to see if it needs more salt. Serve warm with some fresh bread, croutons or pita chips.
