Redaction:
4-1/2 pounds butternut squash
1 onion, sliced
1-3/4 cups broth
2 tbsps verjuice
2 tbsps freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 egg yolks
1 small pinch saffron (4 or 5 threads)
½ tsp sweet spices
salt
Peel and seed the squash, cut it into pieces, and cook it together with the onion in a quart (liter) of salted water until very tender. Drain and put through a food mill or puree in a food processor or blender. Return to the pan, add the broth and verjuice, and bring to a boil. Crumble the saffron between your fingers and add it to the pan.
This is what should be brought to the hall. The following directions should be completed on feast day:
Heat soup. Beat the egg yolks together with the parmesan. Remove the soup from the heat, then whisk in the egg yolk mixture. Reheat over very low heat; be sure not to let the soup boil again at this point.
Sprinkle with spice mixture, and serve.
