Pumpkin-ginger soup

1 butterkin squash, peeled and cut into pieces

1 large red onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, chopped

1 piece of fresh ginger about the size of an egg, peeled and chopped

2 cayenetta peppers, stems removed

3 leaves of big leaf thyme OR 2 stems of regular thyme

2-3 tablespoons of butter

1/2 teaspoon of grated nutmeg (facultative)

2 boxes of beef broth (1800 ml)

salt and pepper to taste

---

sautee the onion, garlic and ginger in butter until the onion is turning transluscent

put the onions, squash, cayenetta peppers and thyme in a large pot, cover with beef broth, bring to a boil

reduce the heat, season with the salt, pepper and nutmeg, simmer until the squash starts coming apart when poked with a spoon

blend the soup until no chunks remain

serve with a bit of cream or milk

it’s sweet with a tiny bit of heat (cayenetta peppers are fairly mild, at least those I grow in the garden)!
