Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced
  • 2 apples, peeled and chopped (preferably tart varieties)
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds, toasted
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onions and garlic, sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in diced butternut squash and apples, cooking for another 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in vegetable broth and sprinkle in cinnamon and nutmeg; bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer until the squash is tender, about 20 minutes.
  6. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth; return to low heat.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste, warming through for another 5 minutes.
  8. Ladle the bisque into bowls, topping with toasted pumpkin seeds and fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Tip: For extra flavor, try roasting the butternut squash before adding it to the pot.

For a creamier texture, consider blending in a dollop of coconut cream or heavy cream just before serving. If you prefer a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick!

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This bisque also freezes well, making it a great meal prep option.
