Looking for squash soup receipe

[KBBarden]

In Auburn NY there is a neat cafe called Parkers. They have a menu item called Summer Squash Soup that is delicious. It is quite thick, has pieces of yellow summer squash in it and I think it has either a touch of curry or nutmeg too. They usually sprinkle hazlenut flavoring on the top. It is served hot. Any one out there have receipt that might be similar or know the chef at Parkers????

I found this recipe in Moosewood Restaurant Daily Special. It actually sounds nothing like what you describe, but it might be worth tinkering with the seasonings if you don't find anything closer. Good luck!

Golden Summer Soup

1 1/2 cups chopped onions
2 tablespoons canola or other vegetable oil
1 cup peeled and diced carrots
2 1/2 cups peeled and diced sweet potatoes
6 cups water
4 cups diced yellow squash
2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage (1 teaspoon dried)
freshly ground black pepper to taste

grated Monterey Jack cheese or reduced-fat sour cream
chopped fresh parsley or snipped fresh chives

In a soup pot, saute the onions in the oil on medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the carrots and about 1 3/4 cups of the sweet potatoes, stir well, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Add 3 cups of the water, cover, and bring to a boil; then lower the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the potatoes are soft. Puree the mixture in a blender or food processor until smooth and set aside.

Meanwhile, bring the remaining 3 cups of water to a boil. Carefully add the rest of the sweet potatoes and simmer for 5 minutes. Ease in the summer squash, corn, turmeric, lemon juice, and salt, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the sage and the reserved puree. Add pepper to taste.

Gently reheat, if necessary. Top with grated cheese or a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with parsley or chives.
