Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 lbs banana squash
1/2 cup onion, chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups vegetable broth or 3 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup dry vermouth
1/2 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated

Steps:

  • In a large baking dish bake the banana squash (butternut will work as well), cut sides down, in the middle of a preheated 375° P. oven for 30-45 minutes, or until it is tender when pierced. Discard the seeds and scoop out the flesh with a spoon.
  • In a kettle cook the onion in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is softened, add the flour, and cook the roux, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the broth, the squash, and the vermouth and simmer the mixture, covered, stirring, for 20 minutes.
  • Purée the soup with a hand blender or in batches in a food processor, return it to the kettle, and add the ginger and the nutmeg. Bring the soup to a boil, simmer it, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Enjoy!
