spread evenly. Place in hot oven (400ø). Close door
quickly; turn off oven heat. Leave in oven 3 hours or
overnight, without opening door. Remove meringues from
foil.

To fill torte: Let ice cream soften slightly. Place a
meringue layer on serving plate; spoon chocolate ice
cream atop and spread evenly (work quickly); place in
freezer. Spread second meringue with pistachio ice
cream; set atop first layer in freezer. Spread third
meringue with strawberry ice cream , set atop others.
Frost remaining meringue with whipped cream, and add.
Freeze till ice cream is firm, about 5 hours or

CURRIED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
4 tb Butter
2 c Onions, yellow, chopped
4 ts Curry powder
2 Butternut squash
2 Apples
3 c Chicken Stock
1 c Apple juice
Salt pepper
1 Granny Smith apple

Squash and apples complement each other naturally; curry adds an exotic
note. Feel free to experiment with other types of winter or summer squash.

Melt the butter in a pot. Add chopped onions and curry powder and cook,
covered, over low heat until onions are tender, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile peel the squash (about 3 lbs). A regular vegetable peeler works
best. Scrape out the seeds and chop the flesh.
When the onions are tender, pour in the stock, add squash and the 2
apples (peeled, cored and chopped). Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and
simmer, partially covered, until squash and apples are very tender, about
25 minutes.
Pour the soup through a strainer, reserving liquid, and transfer the
solids to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, or use a
food mill fitted with a medium disk. Add 1 cup of the cooking stock and
process until smooth.
Return the pur‚ed soup to the pot and add apple juice and additional
cooking liquid, about 2 cups, until the soup is of desired consistency.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, simmer briefly to blend and heat
through. Shred Granny Smith apple, unpeeled. Serve soup immediately,
garnished with shredded apple.
