Easy butternut squash bisque made with autumn spices is comforting, satisfying, and has a dynamic depth of flavor. Thanks to the creamy texture, it is a perfect soup for those cold days during the fall and winter months. It's also naturally gluten-free, vegetarian, and can easily be made into a vegan butternut squash soup too!
Heat the oil in a large pot, sauté the onion until soft.
Next add the garlic, diced butternut squash, and carrots.
Continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until all vegetables are very soft, approximately 20 minutes.
When the vegetables are fully cooked remove the pot from the heat.
Using an immersion blender or a food processor, pureé the butternut bisque until smooth.
Stir in the seasonings, nutmeg and cream.
Heat the bisque over a low heat and bring to a gentle simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring to prevent the bisque from burning. Do not boil as this will cause the bisque to split.
Adjust seasoning to taste and serve.
