Ingredients

    2 oz good olive oil
    2 oz unsalted butter
    1 cup diced Spanish onion
    ΒΌ sliced Jalapeno pepper
    1 teaspoon minced garlic
    1 teaspoon minced ginger
    4 cups diced butternut squash
    1 cup white wine
    4 cups vegetable stock
    Nutmeg to taste
    Cinnamon to taste
    Salt to taste
    Thyme if it pleases you

Directions

In a stock pot melt the butter with the olive oil.

Add the onion and cook on low until the onions begin to turn clear.

Add garlic, jalepeno and ginger and cook for 1 minute.

Add the wine, squash and vegetable broth.

Boil then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the squash is tender. I added Thyme stems and removed them when I removed it from stove.

Once tender, remove from stove and add cinnamon and nutmeg to taste.

Puree the soup with a hand blender. If you want to add the calories for a special occasion, take a tsp of 35% cream. When the soup is in the bowl, place the spoon just below the surface so the cream is on top then you can swirl it with the spoon to look pretty .
