Butternut Squash Bisque

I found this recipe a few years ago while I was away on business in Ottawa.

At dinner in an out of the way little bistro, I had the most delicious bowl of Butternut Squash Bisque; and being the food detective you know me to be, I enquired as to the ingredients.

The chef, bless his heart, shared the recipe with me.
