DIRECTIONS

Place the cumin seeds and nutmeg in a large saucepan over medium heat, and cook until lightly browned. Stir in the butter, and saute the onions and leeks until tender. Mix in squash, wine, and chicken broth. Season with cinnamon and ginger. Reduce heat, and simmer 10 to 15 minutes.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ravioli, and cook 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
With a hand mixer, puree the soup mixture. Blend in light cream, and season with salt and pepper. Mix in the cooked ravioli just before serving.

This soup is delicious! Great as an appetizer, just place one med-large spinach ravioi in the center of bowl and top with soup for a wonderful color contrast or serve with a salad and some crusty bread for a filling dinner. Great winter dish to warm your bones! For vegetarians who would like to make this soup, you can substitute a light vegetable stock for the chicken stock called for in the original recipe.

Very good! I left out the leeks and added one fried tart apple... delicious!! By the way, how on earth does a recipe that never claimed to be vegetarian warrant a bad review for not being vegetarian? And who finds this helpful?? Sometimes I don't understand you people.
