Squash Bisque

Wonderful, tummy-satisfying soup! Actually, I haven't made it myself yet, but a good friend of mine made it for us and I asked for the recipe. She didn't blend the entire cooked ingredients at one time, so I had a small bowl without the heavy cream. I liked it even better! Hope you enjoy it as much as I!
