BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
Most cooks have one recipe that they break out to truly herald in a particular season and, for fall, butternut squash soup is mine. It's not just the color (which is pretty darned autumnal, you must admit), it's the warmth and comfort that come from roasted and caramelized butternut squash spiced with ginger and nutmeg. This soup is my favorite sweater, I guess you could say, only in a bowl. You wouldn't want to actually wear it, though. This recipe first appeared in Season 5 of Good Eats.Photo by Lynne Calamia

- Brush the squash cubes with a little butter and season with 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper. Place the squash on a sheet pan and roast until the flesh is nice and soft, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Combine the roasted squash with the stock, honey, and ginger in a large pot. Bring to a simmer and puree using an immersion blender. As the blender is running, slowly add the cream and return to a low simmer. Add the nutmeg, season with additional salt and pepper, to taste, and stir to combine.

SQUASH SOUP
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the quartered squash onto a half sheet pan, brush the flesh of the squash with a little butter and season with 1 tablespoon of the salt and 1 teaspoon of the white pepper. Place in the oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes or until the flesh is soft and tender.
- Scoop the flesh from the skin into a 6-quart pot. Add the broth, honey and ginger. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer, approximately 7 to 8 minutes. Using a stick blender, puree the mixture until smooth*. Stir in the heavy cream and return to a low simmer. Season with the remaining salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
