Butternut squash lends a rich, thick sweetness to this filling bisque. An immersion blender makes easy work of pureeing the soup in the pot - no need to transfer it to a blender in batches. Speed prep time by buying precut peeled squash or even frozen cubed butternut squash.Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve with a light grilled cheese for a fabulous, filling meal.
