Recipe View Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm, garnished with an extra swirl of cream or a sprinkle of nutmeg, if desired.

For a richer flavor, roast the butternut squash before adding it to the soup. Toss the cubed squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
To make this bisque vegan, substitute the butter with olive oil or vegan butter, and use full-fat coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
The bisque can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat.
