This soup tastes divine. The Vegetable Bisque can be purchased from Trader Joes, it makes this soup full bodied and really yummy. No extra salt is needed because the Bisque is pre-salted.
Serves alot!!
Here it is:
1-2 T Olive Oil
2 Stalks of Celery chopped
1 Onion chopped
1 t of each Rosemary, Thyme and Sage
1/2 t salt
3 bay leaves
2 Large Sweet Potatoes peeled and diced in to small squares
3 cups Butternut squash (first cut in half and baked facing down on an oiled cookied sheet at 425 degrees for 1 hour - then scoop out to make 3 cups)
1 32oz aseptic soup pack from Trader Joes called Vegetable Bisque
In large pot, saute celery, onion, herbs in EVOO with salt sprinkled on top to bring out the flavors of the onion & celery. Put potatoes and squash in with sauted onion mix, fill with water until just covering to top of the potatoes in the pot. Bring to boil, cover and turn down to low for 20 minutes until tender. Add vegetable Bisque and butternut squash and mash the potatoes/squash with a masher depending on how you like the consistency. It's nice to have a few chunks in there. Bring it back to a boil, turn off and serve. It tastes even better the next day!!!
