Hello my Dearest Foodies,
It's been a long time since I made Butternut Squash Bisque, so I thought now is the perfect time to make it. Besides, I decided to try something different. Although my family loved the old recipe that was quite simple and easy, I am much more pleased with this new one.
Not only it's more flavorful, but also way more satisfying and higher in protein. Especially if you have your bowl with the roasted pumpkin seeds, which I highly recommend. They add delicious flavor to your bisque and fare amount of nutrients, including protein.
I wish you a happy Week 🧡😊🧡
