Yield: 10 servings
2 Tbs unsalted butter
1 large Spanish onion, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
6 cups vegetable broth
1 3-inch piece Parmesan cheese rind
2 bay leaves
2 butternut squash (about 1 1/2 pounds each), peeled, seeded, and chopped into 1-inch cubes
2 Tbs grated Parmesan cheese
3 fresh sage leaves, diced
1 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
Melt the butter in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and sweat until tender, about 4 minutes.
Add the stock, Parmesan rind, and bay leaves and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, partially cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the squash and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, until the squash is tender.
Remove the Parmesan rind and bay leaves; reserve the rind for another use.
Puree about one quarter of the soup in a food processor or blender until smooth.
Return the puree to the pot and stir in the grated Parmesan, sage, salt, nutmeg, pepper, and cayenne. Simmer for 2 minutes to heat through.
To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and top with chopped parsley.
