Butternut Squash Bisque

April 6, 2016

David recently said he would like to have a wall calendar in our house. We are completely electronic and synced up when it comes to our “real” calendars for scheduling. But, I think he is totally right that there is something about turning the page of a traditional wall calendar that makes you enjoy the months and seasons a little more. The weather here has been manic, and although I am ready to embrace all things Summer, I will still take a warm soup on a cloudy gray Spring day when I can get it.

Save this for fall as well!

BUTTERNUT SQUASH BISQUE from Rachel Schultz

    YUM! I live in the South and we have a cold/rainy day here so I had to make this before it gets HOT and I avoid all hot foods until the fall. I added in some black beans just to increase the texture. I keep cooked shredded chicken in bags in my freezer at all times to make quick and easy meals. Worked perfect for this dish.

      Nice, black beans would be a good addition. May do that next time too.

    Do you have any recommendations on how to roast the chicken?

    • Rachel Schultz

      We like to drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper and then roast at 425 degrees for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through.

    This looks positively delicious and couldn’t have come at a better time. I have in my freezer some homemade bisque and we plan on roasting a whole chicken on the grill in the next day or so. All I need to do is add the rest of the ingredients and I’m in business! Anything that has beans in is great by me. Have a productive weekend – I’m sure you will.

      So great!
