Ingredients:

Serving

1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground white pepper
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cubeb pepper (optional)
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
coarse salt
2 lb butternut , kabocha or calabaza squash--peeled, seeded and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
2 tbsp tomato paste
4 cup water
1/2 cup cr'me frache or heavy cream
1/4 lb aged goat cheese, shredded
harissa
freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

MAKE THE SPICE BLEND In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Sift through a fine sieve and store in an airtight container.
MAKE THE SOUP In a large, heavy pot, toss the onion with the olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cover and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is very soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the squash, cover with a round of parchment paper and the lid and cook for 20 minutes.
Add the tomato paste, 1 teaspoon of the spice blend and the water to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the squash is tender, 20 minutes. Let cool.
Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender; add the crème fraîche, three-fourths of the cheese and 1 teaspoon of harissa to the last batch. Return all of the soup to the pot and season with salt and black pepper. Serve the soup, passing the remaining cheese and more harissa at the table. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
