Balsamic Butternut Squash Soup

People asked why we didn’t have a butternut squash soup. We answered.u003cbru003eBut we didn’t want to make just any butternut squash soup. We wanted to make one that made your mouth water. We wanted to make one that makes you look like you’re a classically trained chef. We wanted to make one that was Instagram ready. So we made this simple but complex balsamic butternut squash bisque (yes, you can call it a bisque!). Did someone say best Vitamix soup ever? Why yes, we've found it. Complex and satisfying, nourishing and impressive. Get into it!
