Butternut Squash and Sage Bisque
Course Soup
Cuisine American
Slow Cooker
Immersion Blender
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 4 cups)
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 5 fresh sage leaves, chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Add the cubed butternut squash, chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped sage to the slow cooker.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir in the salt and black pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or until the squash is very soft.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the slow cooker until smooth.
Stir in the heavy cream and let the soup warm for 10 more minutes on low before serving.
For a lighter version, swap the heavy cream for coconut milk. If the bisque seems too thick after blending, add a splash more broth to reach your preferred consistency. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for three days and reheat gently on the stovetop.
