Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Cut the squash length-wise, discarding the cores with the seeds. You just want the flesh and skin. This is where the flavor is. The seeds are mainly water.
  2. Heat the onions in a saucepan until just soft.
  3. Add the squash and season with salt. Heat for another 5 minutes.
  4. Add just enough water to cover the vegetables and the cinnamon stick.
  5. Bring to a simmer and cook until the squash are tender.
  6. Remove the cinnamon stick and puree until smooth using an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender and puree until smooth.
  7. Chill the soup in the refrigerator for 30-minutes to an hour.
  8. To make the basil oil garnish, use a mortar and pestle to mash together chopped basil leaves, grated lemon zest, minced garlic and olive oil. You might also use a mini processor.
  9. Ladle the chilled soup into bowls, drizzle with the basil olive oil and serve.
