  • (2 small cans organic  pumpkin or use combination fresh and canned to yield about 2 pounds)
  • 1-3 tablespoon EVOO

  • 8-10 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 1 cup wine
  • Salt pepper coriander to taste

Method:

In sauce pan,  coat bottom with EVOO; sweat shallot and onion until soft and translucent; add squash and continue to sweat with 1 cup wine.  When soft, puree using stick blender or food processor. Adjust consistency with hot mild stock or water if too thick. Adjust seasonings. Serve hot with yogurt cheese or sour cream and a little sherry wine drizzeled in the bowl.
