Preparation

Step 1

Add squash to a large pot with salted water, and cook until soft (approximately 40 minutes). Strain out the squash, reserving 2 cups of liquid and discarding the rest.

In the large pot, sauté the diced vegetables in 1/4 cup butter and wine for 5 minutes. Add the herbs and spices. Add the chicken stock and 1 cup of reserved liquid. Bring to a boil, then thicken with a roux made by mixing the flour with 1/4 cup melted butter.

Puree the cooked squash in a blender or food processor with the remaining 1 cup of reserved liquid. Add to the pot and cook on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring often. Add the syrup and sherry. Mix well and serve.

This recipe yields 12 to 16 servings.
