Butternut Squash Bisque Recipe

The mild sweetness of butternut squash soup is perfectly offset with a trio of fresh, savory herbs. Add heavy cream to the already velvety texture of pureed squash and you have rich, thick bisque to serve for a first course or a light main dish. Cooks note: this recipe can easily be converted to a vegetarian dish by using a good quality vegetable stock in place of the chicken stock.
