BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP OR BISQUE (ROASTING METHOD)
What makes this soup so flavorful is that you roast the veggies in advance (squash, onions, apple). The roasting process concentrates and caramelizes the flavors. Then after roasting, it's a simple process to puree all the ingredients in a blender or processor. Just before serving, reheat and serve with croutons and a dollop of sour cream. We like this soup served the day after Thanksgiving with turkey sandwiches and a side dish of cranberry relish.

Steps:
- ROASTING: preheat oven to 450. Peel and dice squash into 1/2 inch pieces (see tip at end). Dice onion into 1/2 inch pieces. Toss squash and onion with olive oil and spread pieces onto a large flat baking pan. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes - add diced apple - and continue roasting another 10-20 minutes (30-40 total roasting time).
- Tip: while you are roasting, make some "cheese toasts". Put some shredded cheese on top of bread rounds (we like gruyere or parmesan). Bake 10-15 minutes until crispy. These cheese toasts are fantastic soup toppers!
- Place roasted mixture into blender with about half the chicken broth; puree (keep hand on lid because hot liquids can cause the top to "explode" off with built up steam). Add remaining chicken broth, half-and-half, and herbs; puree.
- Transfer mixture to saucepan; reheat gently.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream and croutons.
- TIP: to prepare squash, first cut squash in half horizontally. Place flat end onto cutting board to stabilize squash and use a peeler to remove skin. Remove seeds. Then cut into lengths, and then into diced pieces.
- NOTE: if you have leftover mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving, add about 1/2 cup, which will thicken the soup and add a nice smoothness.

[email protected]I'm not a fan of this soup. The flavor is bland and the texture is watery. I think I would have liked it better if I had roasted the butternut squash myself instead of using pre-roasted squash. Overall, I was disappointed with this soup.

[email protected]This soup is good, but not great. The flavor is a bit too sweet for my taste, and the texture is a bit too thick. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less sugar and more salt. Overall, it's a decent soup, but I probably won't be making

[email protected]This soup is okay. It's not the best butternut squash soup I've ever had, but it's not bad either. The flavor is a bit bland, but it's still enjoyable. The texture is also a bit watery, but it's not a dealbreaker. Overall, this soup is just average.
