Steps:
- In a large saucepan set over medium heat, melt the butter until it foams. Add the squash, fennel, ginger and garlic and cook slowly until soft, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir, then cook for 5 or 6 minutes to incorporate.
- Meanwhile, in a large pan set over medium-high heat, fry the bacon until crisp. Remove and drain over paper towels. Reserve.
- Add the vermouth and cognac to deglaze the first pan, and reduce the liquids until the pan is almost dry. Add the tomato juice and reduce it by half, approximately 3 minutes. Add the stock, anise and cardamom and simmer until it has reduced by roughly half, about 30 minutes. When the bisque has reduced, remove from heat and stir in the tarragon. Cover and steep for 5 minutes. Whisk in the crème fraîche, then strain bisque through a fine-meshed sieve or chinois.
- Season with salt, lime juice and cayenne. Serve immediately with a slice of crisp bacon over the top, and a sprinkle of pumpkinseeds.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- With a sharp knife, prick the squash in several places to allow steam to escape while it cooks (otherwise, it could burst).
- Place the squash in a baking dish lined with foil and roast for about 90 minutes, until the squash is soft when you push on it.
- Let cool for 30 minutes, so it's easier to handle, then peel, seed, and remove strings. Cut the roasted squash into 1/2-inch pieces, or scoop meat out with a spoon.
- In a heavy soup kettle, heat the olive oil and add the onions. Cook until light golden brown and add the leeks and cumin. Cook for 2 minutes and add the garlic and ginger.
- When the garlic is fragrant, add the maple syrup, soy sauce, bourbon, sherry, and nutmeg. Add the squash and stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook gently for 15 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender (or a regular blender), puree the soup until very smooth.
- Add the evaporated milk, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes: do not bring to a boil.
- Add the cornstarch mixture and serve in soup plates.
- If you like, garnish this soup with garlic and Parmesan cheese croûtons and a dollop of nonfat sour cream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Rub cut surfaces of garlic with oil. Put halves back together to reassemble heads. Wrap each tightly in foil; bake until tender, about 40 minutes. Cool garlic in foil.
- Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add onions, carrots and celery; sauté until onions are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add squash, broth and 2 tablespoons sage. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered until squash is tender, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, unwrap garlic. Squeeze from skin into small bowl. Discard skin. Mash garlic with fork until smooth.
- Stir garlic into soup. Working in batches, purée soup in blender until smooth. Return to pot. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Refrigerate uncovered until cold. Cover and keep refrigerated. Bring to simmer before continuing.) Stir in 1/2 cup cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer soup to tureen. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon cream.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon sage.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has blemishes or soft spots.
- Roast the squash before pureeing: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and gives the soup a richer flavor. You can roast the squash in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a good quality bourbon: The bourbon adds a depth of flavor to the soup, so it's important to use a good quality bourbon that you enjoy drinking. If you don't have bourbon, you can substitute another type of whiskey, such as rye or scotch.
- Don't overcook the soup: The soup should be simmered until the vegetables are tender, but not mushy. Overcooking the soup will make it bland and watery.
- Serve the soup with a garnish: A garnish of fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, or a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche will add a nice finishing touch to the soup.
Conclusion:
Butternut squash bourbon bisque is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The soup is creamy and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness from the roasted squash and a subtle smokiness from the bourbon. It's a great soup to serve at a party or potluck, and it's also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash.
