Squash-Mushroom Soup
2 medium acorn squash (other winter squash would also do) 2.5 cups water or stock 1 cup orange juice 2 Tablespoons butter 1/2 cup chopped onion 1 medium clove garlic, crushed 6 ounces sliced mushrooms 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon coriander 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon ginger 1/4 teaspoon powdered mustard 1.25 teastpoon salt dash cayenne fresh lemon (optional) chopped toasted almonds (optional) yogurt (optional)
Cut squash in half and remove seeds; bake face down on oiled cookie sheet for 30 minutes at 350 deg. F. (moderate oven). Cool. Scoop out flesh and puree with water or stock. [Note: I've made this with water and with vegetarian stock; either is fine, although I adjusted the seasonings when I made it with water.]
Mix puree with orange juice in large saucepan. Meanwhile, saute onion with garlic and salt; add mushrooms; cover and cook slowly for ten minutes. [Note: I've used completely uninteresting mushrooms in this. I think it would be good to try with some of the more flavorful varieties as well.]
Add onion mixture to puree; heat gently. Add lemon juice [Note: balsamic vinegar is also nice] if desired.
Serve with yogurt and almonds if desired.
