- .RZ "BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP" "Makes a meal with cheese, bread, and red wine."
- Here is a rich soup which is easy to make and popular with guests. I like
- this best with cheese, bread and red wine as a winter meal, but you can
- serve it as a first course. The original recipe came from
- \fIFood & Wine\fR magazine a couple of years ago.

- .SK 1
- Melt the butter over moderate heat in a large heavy saucepan. Add the
- onion and rosemary. Cook for about 5 minutes until the onion is soft.
- .SK 2
- Add the squash, chicken stock, cream, salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce.
- Reduce the heat and cover. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 2
- hours until the squash is very soft.
- .SK 3
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the hot soup. Add additional
- stock if the soup is too thick.
- .SK 4
- Toast and chop the walnuts. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with the
- walnuts.
- .SH NOTES
- As a variation, you may chop some or all of the walnuts in the food
- processor or blender while the soup is pureed. This will give the soup a
- slightly different taste and texture.

- easy.
