Ingredients:

Serving

soup
2 tsp canola oil
1 medium to large onion, coarsely chopped
2 medium sized carrots, peeled, cut into chunks
2 lb peeled and cubed fall squash (i used butternut)
1 cinnamon stick
4 to 5 cups vegetable or chicken stock
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
3/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
miso-tamarind sauce
1 tsp red miso
1 tsp tamarind concentrate
2 tsp maple syrup
3 garlic cloves, very finely minced
1 to 2 tbsp very finely minced ginger root
1/3 cup plus 1 tbsp vegetable or chicken stock
1 tsp tomato paste

Directions:

Saute onion and cinnamon stick in oil over low heat until onion is softened, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add carrots, squash, and stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, until carrots and squash are soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
(Make garnish - see below)
Remove from heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
In small and roughly equal increments of stock and vegetables, ladle mixture into blender or processor. Blend until very smooth. Pour into a large bowl or another pot. Repeat until entire mixture is blended.
Stir in nutmeg, cloves and salt. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Miso-Tamarind Garnish
While soup is cooking, combine miso, tamarind, maple syrup, garlic, ginger and 1 tablespoon stock in a bowl and stir until smooth.
In a small saucepan over low flame, heat miso sauce. When it begins to lightly bubble, stir and continue to cook for 30 seconds or so.
Add remaining stock and bring to a boil, then stir in tomato paste.
When sauce thickens, remove from heat and set aside. When cooled slightly, pour into a squirtable plastic container and design your own swirls over individual cups of soup.
Note: I found this to make the bare minimum of the garnish. I'd double this next time I made it.
