Weeknight Meal Planner: Week of December 19th
Creamy Butternut-Leek Bisque
Greek yogurt, quinoa, and a little time in the blender give this vegetarian soup its rich and creamy texture. Precut butternut squash makes this recipe super fast by slashing up to 20 minutes of prep time. You'll find bags of the peeled, cubed squash in the produce section with the bags of broccoli florets and other prepared veggies. Purchase beige colored quinoa to achieve a gorgeous, golden-colored soup.
