I love me a good bisque and this one can be made all year round. Its good and good for you coming in at 135 calories per serving. The Chicken broth could be store bought or there is a recipe for easy homemade broth that can be made a day in advance. Recipe found in a healthy eating for two recipe book.

How To Make curried bisque of summer squash

  • Step 1

  • Step 2
    Add the broth and cook the mixture, stirring constantly, until it comes to a simmer and is slightly thickened. Add the squash and reduce the heat to low. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
  • Step 3
    Let the soup cool to room temperature, then puree it in a a blender, working in batches if necessary. Stir in the buttermilk and lemon juice. Chill the soup in a covered container for 2 hours or overnight. Serve it ice-cold in bowls or mugs.
