PETER'S BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
Steps:
- In a heavy 3-to 4-quart stockpot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the leeks and a pinch of salt. With a wooden spoon, turn the leeks over in the oil a few times. Reduce the heat to low, add the ginger and garlic, cover, and cook gently for 15 minutes.
- Make a bouquet garni by tying together with kitchen twine or wrapping in cheesecloth the celery leaves, sage, cinnamon stick, and cloves.
- Add the bouquet garni to the pot. Then add the squash, apple cider, and the stock. Raise the heat, and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat to as low as possible, and simmer, covered, for 30 to 40 minutes, until the squash crushes easily against the side of the pot when pressed with a wooden spoon.
- Remove the bouquet garni, and pass the soup through a food mill or puree using an immersion blender. Season with pepper. Swirl in butter if using.
- Serve the soup garnished with a pinch of cinnamon and a sprinkle of parsley.
