SUPERB SQUASH SOUP WITH THE BEST PARMESAN CROUTONS
This fantastic soup is best made with varieties of squash that have dense, orange flesh, such as butternut or onion squash. It's important to use good chicken stock and season the soup well to bring out the nutty, sweet flavor of the squash. Once you've mastered this recipe, you can take the soup in different ways by adding pearl barley, dried pasta, or some chopped bacon. Even the smallest amount of dried porcini. P.S. I made this in my pressure cooker the other day, with really great results - it's so quick!

Steps:
- Put a very large saucepan on a medium heat and pour in a couple of glugs of olive oil.
- Add the sage leaves and fry for around 30 seconds or until dark green and crisp. Quickly remove them with a slotted spoon to a bowl lined with paper towels - you'll use these for sprinkling over at the end. In the pan you'll be left with a beautifully flavored oil, so put it back on the heat and throw in your onion, celery, carrot, garlic, rosemary leaves, chile and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Cook gently for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are sweet and soft. Add the squash and the stock to the pan, bring to the boil and simmer for around 30 minutes.
- While the soup is cooking, make your croutons. Drizzle a little olive oil over the ciabatta slices, and press some grated Parmesan onto each side. Place in a non-stick pan without any oil and fry until golden on both sides.
- When the squash is soft and cooked through, whiz the soup with an immersion blender or pour it into a standard blender and pulse until you have a smooth puree* (but you can leave it slightly chunky if you like). Most importantly, remember to taste and season it until it's perfect. Divide the soup between your bowls, placing 2 croutons on top of each. Sprinkle with a few of your crispy sage leaves and drizzle with a swirl of good-quality extra-virgin olive oil.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Divide the squash/pumpkin (cut-side up), garlic and onions between 2 sheet pans. (Keep the onions and garlic together.) Drizzle over the olive oil and rub to fully coat everything in the oil. Season with the sage, rosemary, thyme and some salt and pepper. Flip the squash so they are cut-side down and roast until fork-tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Allow the squash to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- While the squash cool, heat the stock and heavy cream in a large pot over medium heat. Add the roasted onions and garlic and bring to a simmer.
- Scrape out the flesh of the squash and add to the pot. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup to your desired consistency. Grate over the nutmeg to taste and adjust other seasonings, as needed.
- To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle over the granola.
ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH CREME FRAICHE
If you are just looking for roasted squash you could prepare this recipe though step one and serve it up as is (you should consider tossing the squash with a couple of teaspoons of brown sugar along with the butter, salt and pepper). But here the roasted squash then gets pureed with sauteed shallots and some broth, and finished with a bit of cream and a gorgeous swirl of creamy, tangy creme fraiche (available in your dairy aisle or the cheese section of the supermarket), plus some (optional) bits of crispy bacon. So simple, and really quite fabulous. You could definitely add a pinch of nutmeg, or perhaps a bit of cumin and chili powder, or some fresh or dried sage if you are looking for another layer of flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the squash on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle over the melted butter, season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet, allowing space in between the cubes when possible. Roast until tender and lightly browned on the bottom, about 25 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute until the shallots have softened and turned a light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, if using bacon, heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the bacon pieces. Saute until they are cooked and crisp, then transfer them with a slotted spoon to some paper towels to drain.
- Add the cooked butternut squash to the simmering broth. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor (alternately you can run the mixture through a food mill, which offers a great kind of nubby texture, or puree right in the pot with an immersion blender). Return the pureed soup to the pot. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Add the cream and heat just until warmed through. Place the creme fraiche in a small bowl and stir with a fork make it very soft and creamy. Ladle the soup into bowls, swirl in a tablespoon of the creme fraiche, and sprinkle with some crisped bacon, if using.
THE DOVE'S NEST TEXAS CHOWDER
Another Dove's Nest favorite, from their cookbook. The cookbook says, "During the winter months, this is one of our most popular soups - a chowder hearty enough to be served as a one-course meal." I'm just guessing at prep and cooking time - the cookbook didn't note it, and I've never made the soup myself, just eaten it at the restaurant. It is absolutely delicious, and one of my favorite things that they serve.
