Sweet Winter Squash and Apple Bisque
/
Winter is sure starting to feel real. I am loving the holiday vibes and the cooler weather (OK, maybe not so much in Hawaii, but the rainy windy days will do). I am enjoying soups now and trying out new recipes that include simple and delicious ingredients. I was excited to see this month’s Recipe Redux to be on soup!
“Let’s take a new look into the soup bowl. Soup is comfort food, but it’s going lots of new places from prep in the Instant Pot to lunchboxes where it’s served up in an individual thermos. Show us your healthy recipes for switching up soup.”
This soup is super simple and sweet, and perfect for lunch or dinner!
