A more complex recipe is the Tahitian squash bisque, which is made of Spanish onion, chicken broth, celery, heavy cream and butter, potatoes and flavored with garlic, cinnamon, sugar, ginger, nutmeg, salt and white pepper. The soups are not as light as the other meals; they are cooked for hours, often sweet and served warm, in wide bowls.
