Creamy Winter Squash Bisque

Ingredients
 

  • 1 medium butternut squash peeled and seeded
  • 1 acorn squash peeled and seeded
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 c. vegetable stock
  • 1/2 c. water
  • 4 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 c. cream
  • 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper or more for a little more heat, this soup is on the sweeter side
  • 1/2 tsp. all spice
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. dried sage
  • A few fresh sage leaves for garnish
  • A few strips of bacon

Instructions

  • Cut both squash into bite size pieces.
  • Add squash and onion to slow cooker along with the stock, water, cayenne, all spice, and dried sage.
  • Turn on low for 6 hours.
  • Once squash and onion are tender, take out of crock pot and place in medium bowl to cool. You want it to cool before placing into blender.
  • Puree squash and onion with a little bit of the chicken stock in blender. Place puree back into crock pot. Add in cream cheese and cream. Cook for 30-45 minutes on high until the cream cheese is fully incorporated
  • While waiting for the soup to finish cooking, fry a few slices of bacon. The bacon adds a savory/salty note that the soup needs. Place on paper towel to get off all the excess oil.
  • Ladle soup into bowls. Cut up bacon into bite size pieces and add to the soup. Top with a few fresh sage leaves for garnish.
