Butternut & Swiss Cheese Ravioli Soup Recipe<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

2 cups (500 mL) butternut squash, peeled and diced\"Quails'<\/a>
\n2 cloves garlic, peeled
\n5 amaretti cookies
\n1\u20443 cup (75 mL) Italian-style breadcrumbs
\n1 egg, separated
\n1 3\u20444 cups (425 mL) Canadian Swiss cheese, grated, divided
\nSalt and freshly ground pepper
\n48 wonton wrappers
\n6 cups (1.5 L) low-sodium beef broth
\n3 sprigs of fresh thyme
\n1 leek, green part only, thinly sliced<\/p>\n

PREPARATION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cook squash with garlic in salted water until tender, about 10\u201315 minutes. Drain and let cool.<\/p>\n

In a food processor, crush cookies with breadcrumbs. Add squash and garlic and process until smooth. Mix in egg yolk and 1 1\u20443 cups (325 mL) cheese. Season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

Lay out half the wonton wrappers on a work surface. Place a spoonful of squash mixture in the middle of each wrapper.<\/p>\n

Brush the edges of each wrapper with lightly beaten egg white and cover with remaining wrappers. Firmly press the edges together to seal the ravioli. Refrigerate until ready to cook or freeze for future use.<\/p>\n

In a large saucepan, bring broth to a boil with thyme and leek. Add ravioli and cook 3\u20134 minutes (6\u20138 minutes if frozen). Serve immediately with 3\u20134 ravioli per bowl, garnished with the remaining cheese.<\/p>\n

CHEESE ALTERNATIVES:<\/strong>
\nCanadian Cheddar, Gouda, Monterey Jack<\/p>\n
