Brie's Butternut Squash Bisque
After one of her favorite restaurants refused to divulge the recipe for its velvety butternut squash and apple soup, Brie Tennis came pretty close with her own version.

I thought this was delicious. It's sweet but there's no added sugar so it's all natural sweetness. Low in fat & sodium; high in fiber -- a healthy winner. I left the chili flakes out, too, and would do so again. I don't think it needs any extra seasoning. I'm going to be making this one often.
It's quite fruity. We had it with a salad (boiled egg, smoked salmon and cantaloupe) with Mango Chipotle dressing. Maybe will try pancakes, sometime.
Unlike some of the other reviewers, I thought this was a very tasty and flavorful soup. I did do something different: when I roasted the squash and apples, I cubed them all and drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper. Then followed the recipe exactly. The soup is definitely spicy (with the ginger, nutmeg, etc.) and I think benefits from a salad on the side with a creamier-type dressing, like ranch. Would make again!
Good, but I felt like there was something missing - a spice, perhaps? Still quite tasty, despite the amount of work involved. Left out the chili pepper - maybe this would have helped with the flavor?
