Ingredients

2lb Butternut Squash (peeled/seeded/chopped)

1lb Sweet potato (peeled/chopped)

1 small head of garlic (peeled)

2 tablespoons high-heat sunflower or coconut oil

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

1 1/2 cup warm water

1 1/2 teaspoon Massel Sodium-Reduced Vegetable Bouillon Granules

1 cup full-fat coconut milk

1 teaspoon onion powder

pinch cayenne pepper

sea salt and white pepper (to taste)

Preparation

Step 1 Preheat oven to 400F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2 Toss the squash, sweet potato, garlic, oil, salt and white pepper together in a large bowl, then spread onto the baking sheet into a single layer.

Step 3 Roast in the oven for 25 minutes or until slightly more than fork-tender.

Step 4 Once roasted, place the squash mixture into a large blender pitcher or food processor. Add the water (start with 1 cup), bouillon (start with 1 teaspoon), coconut milk, onion powder and cayenne to the mix and puree until very smooth.

Step 5 Add the additional ½ cup water/ ½ teaspoon bouillon if you would like a thinner bisque.

Step 6 Pour the bisque into a pot and warm over medium heat until it gets hot, stirring occasionally.

Step 7 Serve warm, and for a fancy (but optional) garnish, place a couple dots of cashew cream on top of the bisque and drag a toothpick through them to create hearts.
