Butternut Squash Bisque with Almonds & Cilantro

View Recipe

32 Soup Recipes for Sunday Dinner (26)

We add almonds at the end for a toasty, textural contrast, while cilantro and cayenne give this butternut squash bisque a slightly exotic flair. This easy bisque recipe is naturally dairy-free and vegan (if you opt for vegetable stock), but you could certainly add a drizzle of heavy cream at the end if you wish.
