    • "It smelled like autumn in a bowl," said Gavin Kaysen , the chef at Manhattan's Café Boulud, describing Tim Hollingsworth's fragrant, fabulous soup .

    Ingredients

    Serves:

      • 1 2-pound butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
      • Kosher salt
      • 1/2 cup(s) pecans
      • 1 banana, scooped into balls with a melon baller or sliced 1/2 inch thick
      • 1 tablespoon(s) pure maple syrup
      • 1 cup(s) water
      • 1/2 cup(s) crème fraîche
      • pinch(s) of ground cinnamon
      • 8 small watercress sprigs

    Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Butter a medium baking dish. Season the squash with salt and set it cut side down in the baking dish. Bake for about 1 hour and 10 minutes, until the squash is very tender. Let cool slightly.

    2. Meanwhile, spread the pecans in a pie plate and toast for about 7 minutes, or until fragrant. Let cool, then coarsely chop and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the banana and maple syrup and stir to coat.

    3. Peel the squash. In a blender, puree the squash, water, crème fraîche and cinna- mon until very smooth. Transfer to a medium saucepan and warm over low heat. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with the banana-nut topping and watercress and serve hot or at room temperature.
