Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt the unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the diced yellow squash, diced potatoes, and sliced carrots, cooking for another 3-4 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are fork-tender, approximately 15-20 minutes.
  6. Allow the soup to cool slightly, then carefully transfer to a blender and puree until completely smooth.
  7. Return the pureed bisque to the saucepan over low heat.
  8. Stir in the cooked shrimp, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco sauce.
  9. Heat gently for 2 minutes just to warm the shrimp, being careful not to overcook them.
  10. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  11. Ladle into bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh dill before serving.
