Approximate preparation time: 20 minutes plus
45 minutes for roasting squash and 20 minutes to
simmer soup
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Place squash in a shallow roasting pan. Drizzle olive oil
over flesh and into the pan. Turn squash flesh down.
Bake until squash is tender, about 45 minutes.
Insert the large metal chopping blade into the large
work bowl of the Cuisinart
®
Food Processor. Add the
onions and pulse to chop, about 8 to 10 pulses.
Melt the butter in a 6-quart saucepan over medium
heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onions and
¼ teaspoon of salt. Sauté 5 to 7 minutes, or until the
onions are softened. Stir in the brown sugar; sauté for
an additional 10 minutes. Add the ginger; sauté until
tender and aromatic, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Add stock, roasted squash, nutmeg, and remaining salt
and pepper to the pot. Cover; bring to a slight boil.
Once boiling, uncover and let simmer for 15 to 20
minutes. Strain the soup, reserving the liquid. Place the
solids into the large work bowl with the large metal
chopping blade and purée until completely smooth,
about 1 minute.
With the machine running, add reserved liquid through
the feed tube until desired consistency is achieved.
Taste and adjust seasoning accordingly.
