Citrus Coconut-Kabocha Bisque

Citrus Coconut-Kabocha Bisque

Master Chef Christy Morgan, author of the Blissful Bites cookbook shared, “This orange-kissed soup is one of my go-to fall dishes. Kabocha is my favorite hard-skinned squash, but if you can’t find it, substitute butternut. Kabocha is a Japanese pumpkin that helps regulate blood sugar because of its high fiber content.”

We love this recipe!
