INSTRUCTIONS
1. Combine the squash and stock in a saucepan and bring to a boil
over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 20
minutes, or until the squash is very tender.
2. Cool a bit for safety's sake, then puree the mixture in a blender.
(You may prepare the recipe in advance up to this point; refrigerate
in a covered container for up to 2 days.)
3. Return the puree to the saucepan and turn the heat to medium-low.
Stir in the sour cream, creme fraiche, or cream, along with the
butter, salt and pepper to taste, and the cayenne. Cook, stirring,
until heated through (do not boil), then taste and add sugar and more
seasoning, if necessary. Keep warm over low heat.
4. Serve the soup with a few cooked shrimp or mushrooms if you like,
and chives.
