How to Make New Orleans Shrimp Squash Bisque Treasure Trove 2

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté until tender but not browned (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add 4 cups of vegetable stock, 1 medium butternut squash (peeled, seeded, and cubed), 1 medium potato (peeled and cubed), and 1/2 cup of chopped carrots.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender (about 15-20 minutes).
  4. Let the soup cool slightly. Carefully transfer to a blender and puree until smooth. (Alternatively, use an immersion blender).
  5. Return the pureed bisque to the saucepan. Stir in 1 pound of cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined), 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste.
  6. Bring to a gentle boil for 2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  7. Serve hot. Garnish each bowl with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh dill weed, if desired.
