BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH ROASTED GARLIC

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Season the squash with salt and pepper and tuck 2 sprigs of thyme into each cavity. Place, cut side down, on the baking sheet and roast until fork-tender, about 40 minutes.
• When the squash is cool enough to handle, discard the thyme; peel the squash and coarsely chop. Combine the squash, garlic, and 1/2 cup of the chicken stock in a food processor and puree until smooth.
• Add the remaining stock gradually until the mixture forms a very loose puree. Season the soup with salt and pepper.

WINTER SQUASH SOUP WITH FRIED SAGE LEAVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375° F. Halve the squash and scoop out the seeds. Brush the surfaces with oil, stuff the cavities with the garlic, and place them cut sides down on a baking sheet. Bake until tender when pressed with a finger, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat the 1/4 cup oil until nearly smoking, then drop in the whole sage leaves and fry until speckled and dark, about 1 minute. Set the leaves aside on a paper towel and transfer the oil to a wide soup pot. Add the onions, chopped sage, thyme, and parsley and cook over medium heat until the onions have begun to brown around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Scoop the squash flesh into the pot along with any juices that have accumulated in the pan. Peel the garlic and add it to the pot along with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 25 minutes. If the soup becomes too thick, simply add more water to thin it out. Taste for salt.
• Depending on the type of squash you've used, the soup will be smooth or rough. Puree or pass it through a food mill if you want a more refined soup. Ladle it into bowls and distribute the cheese over the top. Garnish each bowl with the fried sage leaves, add pepper, and serve.

ROASTED VEGETABLES WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°. Place vegetables in a large bowl. In a microwave, melt butter; stir in remaining ingredients. Add to vegetables and toss to coat., Transfer to a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Roast 35-45 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.

ROASTED SQUASH WITH PANCETTA AND SAGE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cut the squash into 1/2-inch cubes and put them in a large bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss to coat.
• Spread the squash on a baking sheet in one layer and roast for about 20 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked through. (You may need to turn the pan several times for even browning.) Remove, and cool to room temperature on the baking sheet.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until barely crisp, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the garlic and sage. Spoon the pancetta, garlic and sage evenly over the squash.
• With a spatula, carefully pile the squash into an oven-proof serving dish. If not serving immediately, keep at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours; or cover and refrigerate, then bring to room temperature, before reheating in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes.

ROASTED SQUASH AND GARLIC SOUP WITH SAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Peel the squash, cut in half and remove seeds and pith. Cut each half in half again. Place squash, quartered onion and garlic in single layer on roasting pan.
• Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil; coating well. Sprinkle the ground cumin on the squash pieces and then place the squash cut side down in the roasting pan.
• Sprinkle vegetables with salt and pepper. Scatter 3/4 of the sage leaves in the pan.
• Roast for 30 minutes, turning vegetables occasionally so they do no burn. Continue roasting for approximately 30 minutes longer or until vegetables can be pierced easily with a fork. (The onion and garlic will take less time so you can remove them earlier from the oven.) Remove squash and set aside.
• Transfer vegetables to a large soup pot. Add the onions; squeeze out the roasted garlic cloves from their peel. Next add the squash. Discard sage. Process soup mixture using a hand held immersion blender. Puree until smooth.
• Stir in vegetable broth. Heat soup until very hot, but not boiling. Add the vinegar or lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste and the whipping cream if using.
• Serve soup hot sprinkled with roasted pumpkin seeds if desired and a few small thinly sliced sage leaves for garnish.
