Ingredients

1 celery rib, chopped
1 medium carrot, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons fine-quality extra-virgin olive oil (preferably Tuscan) plus additional for drizzling
1 lb winter squash such as butternut, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 lb boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 whole fresh peperoncino (small hot Italian green pepper) or 3/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
3 1/2 cups boiling water plus additional for thinning
1 crisp amaretto (Italian almond macaroon), finely crushed (2 tablespoons)

Steps:

Cook celery, carrot, and onion in 2 tablespoons oil in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until tender but not browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add squash, potatoes, peperoncino, and sea salt. Stir in 3 1/2 cups boiling water and simmer, covered, until vegetables are very tender, about 20 minutes.
Remove and discard peperoncino (if using pepper flakes, leave in soup). Purée soup in batches in a blender (use caution when blending hot liquids), adding more water to thin to desired consistency.
Serve soup drizzled with additional oil and sprinkled with amaretto crumbs.

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used butternut squash, and it was the perfect sweetness for the soup. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper for a little kick. Will definitely make again!

I'm not a huge fan of squash, but this soup was surprisingly good. The creamless base was light and flavorful, and the squash was roasted to perfection. I will definitely be making this soup again.
