For a richer flavor, roast the butternut squash before adding it to the soup. A dash of nutmeg or ginger can add extra warmth to the bisque. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender in batches. For a vegan option, substitute the butter with olive oil and the chicken broth with vegetable broth. Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream. Feel free to experiment with different toppings, such as toasted pumpkin seeds, croutons, or a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
