Butternut Squash Bisque

Here is a great recipe for Butternut squash bisque. The squash came out of my garden so it tastes even yummier.

I double this recipe, but here is the original. I got it from my friend Mary Alice.

2 T. Butter

1 red onion

2 cloves of garlic chopped

4 cups. peeled, seeded, and cubed butternut squash

5 cups. chicken stock

1 1/2 cups. cubed potatoes

1 t. paprika

1/2 cup half and half

salt and pepper to taste

Melt the butter in a large stock pot and add the onion and garlic and cook for about 5 min.

Add everything but the half and half. Simmer for about 30 min. or everything is soft. Transfer in small betches to a blender and process untill smooth. Be careful of the hot liquids. Add the half and half. Reheat slowly. Can add a few chopped chives just before serving. Garnish each serving with a few drops of cream.

Enjoy!
