Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Onion, Diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoons Dried Sage
  • 3-1/2 cups Chicken Stock
  • 2/3 cups White Wine
  • 1-1/2 pound Butternut Squash, Peeled, Seeded And Chopped
  • 1/4 cups Jalapeno Pepper, Seeded And Diced, Plus More For Garnish
  • 1/2 cups Heavy Cream, Plus More For Garnish
  • 1 cup Ricotta Cheese
  • 1 pinch Ground Nutmeg
  • Sea Salt And Pepper, To Taste

Method

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over high heat and saute the onions for 3 to 5 minutes. Next toss in the garlic for about 45 seconds, or until garlic is fragrant. Add the sage, chicken stock and white wine, bring to a boil and add the squash.
  • Lower the heat to medium and cover, cooking the squash until tender-about 10-15 minutes. Next stir in the jalapeno, cream and ricotta and bring to a low boil. Then puree the soup in either a blender (done in batches) or with an immersion blender. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper and serve with a garnish of jalapeno peppers and a drizzle of cream.
