Puree of Butternut Squash Soup With Ginger Chef Jon Dornbusch
Ingredients:
4 cups diced, peeled butternut squash
1 cup diced potato
1 cup diced, peeled white onion
2 teaspoons fresh gingerroot (peeled, minced)
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
2 whole bay leaves
1 cup dry white wine
4 cups chicken stock
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Combine ingredients in large, nonaluminum pot. Simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender (about 30 minutes). Remove soup and puree in blender. Strain and serve.

Note: Note: Uncooked butternut squash is difficult to peel and dice. To soften, puncture squash in a few places, and microwave at high for 5 minutes, turning once.
