Moroccan-Spiced Butternut Squash Bisque

Butternut squash is paired with Moroccan ingredients in this creamy, one-pot soup. Fresh carrots and onion are in the mix too, enhancing the color and adding flavor. The bisque is seasoned with Moroccan spices and aromatics: coriander, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, and garlic. Choose butternut squash that feel heavy for its size and don’t have any punctures or brown patches. The stem should be firm and deep brown, and if it’s intact, the squash will keep for longer. Avoid ones with green spots or streaks, which mean the squash hasn’t completely ripened. Pureeing the soup gives it a deliciously smooth, velvety texture. If you prefer a thinner soup, stir in a little water.
