INSTRUCTIONS
In a large pot, bring 9 cups of chicken or vegetable stock to a boil.
Remove 1 cup and reserve. Chop all vegetables into small pieces. In a sautJ
pan, over medium high heat, melt half of the butter. saute vegetables with
ginger and nutmeg for approximately 15 minutes, until vegetables are all
browned. Add remaining butter as needed. Add sauteed vegetables to stock,
reduce heat, cover with a lid, and simmer for 30 minutes. Let cool to room
temperature and then puree in a blender. Soup should be thick and smooth.
After blending two thirds of the stock and vegetables, check the
consistency of the blended soup. If it is too thin, drain off a cup of the
remaining stock. If it is too thick, add the reserved cup of stock back
into the pot. Continue to blend the remaining vegetables and stock. Add
salt and pepper. To serve, add approximately 2 tablespoons of cream per
serving and reheat. Do not let it boil. Serve in warm bowls. Yield: 6 to 8
