INSTRUCTIONS
CASHEW TARRAGON CREAM
This is a recipe out of the Bay Area Vegetarian 1996 magazine I also posted
information about. Ihave not tried this recipe, but it comes from a source
that I respect. The recipe is from Millenium restaurant, a fabulous VEGAN
restaurant in San Francisco that serves gourmet food that follows
McDougall's precepts. Says so right on the menu! I've eaten there twice and
love it.
Saute onion, carrot, and celery in the sherry. When onions are soft, add
half the salt and pepper plus all the remaining ingredients. Simmer until
the squash is soft (approximately 45 minutes). Puree the soup in a blender.
Return it to the soup pot; simmer10 more minutes to marry the flavors,and
then adjust salt and pepper. Serve garnished with cashew tarragon cream and
slices of pear.
Cashew Tarragon Cream: Blend all ingredients in a blender. Start with half
the water, and add the other half as it blends (you may need a little more
than 2 cups). You are looking for the consistency of heavy cram with no
lumpiness.

I would assume that most of the fat in this dish comes from the sauce, so
you could play with that recipe a little or skip it altogether.
