Bisque is a type of soup that is thicker and creamier, typically made with cream. This French style of soup is commonly used with seafood (e.g. lobster bisque), but can also be a delicious way to enjoy vegetable soups. Many traditional butternut squash soup recipes call for heavy cream, just like this one does! You may also find that wine is called for in many bisque recipes, but we leave that out here to keep things simplified.
