Directions for Recipe for Butternut Squash Bisque
1
Leeks
Cut off the tough green leaves and the root ends of the leeks and discard. Cut the remaining leeks lengthwise and wash thoroughly. (Leeks tend to have a lot of dirt and grit buried in them.) Roughly chop.2
Squash
Peel and seed the butternut squash and then roughly chop.3
Cook
Combine all of the ingredients EXCEPT the evaporated milk in a 3-quart saucepan. Cover and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are fork-tender. (About 30 minutes.)4
Finish
Puree the mixture in a blender. (You may have to do this in batches.) Stir in the evaporated milk to achieve the desired consistency. (You can add more milk if the bisque is too thick.)Tip
Butternut squash is one of those great fall/winter vegetables that should be included in any diet. A half-cup of butternut squash contains more than a day's requirement of vitamin A. In addition, you will be getting a lot of vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and even a bit of calcium and iron. Furthermore, it is low in calories -- containing, on average, just 39 calories in that half-cup. This means that butternut squash not only tastes good, it is also good for you.

Post a CommentLori -- You can either peel them or not. I don't.
I wish I knew if you left the potato and the apple unpeeled. But I'm going to try it. My garden had an abundance of Butternuts this year! :)
Gotta try this!
