We're spending the last week of October with our family on Monhegan Island, 10 miles offshore. It's a magical spot, scarcely a square mile in size. Jan and I have been coming out here since the late 1970s, and Elspeth and Anna grew up coming with us every spring and fall. Now we've introduced Alex, Sally, and Andy to the island too, as well as my cousin Elizabeth, who flew up from Virginia to join us this year.
We arrived a few days ago, chilled from the hour-long ferry ride. Fortunately we came with two quarts of Gypsy Soup in our bags (along with all the rest of our food). I made it a few weeks ago and froze it, knowing we'd want some nice soups on the island. We walked up the dirt road to our rental house, brought in all our gear, and while Jan and Alex built a fire in the big stone fireplace, Elizabeth and I fixed lunch. Twenty minutes later we all sat down to a good, hot lunch of Gypsy Soup and grilled-cheese sandwiches—happy to be here, and happy to be warmed by our own homemade soup.
This delicious soup uses many of the late-summer and fall vegetables that we grow in our garden or get from our CSA. The recipe, with a few small changes, comes from the original Moosewood Cookbook—one of my best-loved cookbooks. You can double or even triple the recipe, and it freezes beautifully. I make this well into the fall and also freeze several quarts of it for the winter and early spring. The recipe below serves 4.
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups diced onions
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 cups peeled and diced winter squash or sweet potato
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon salt
dash of cinnamon
dash of cayenne
1 bay leaf
3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1 cup chopped tomatoes, preferably fresh but canned will of course work too
3/4 cup diced sweet peppers, green or red
3/4 cups cooked or canned chickpeas
In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the onions, garlic, celery, and squash or sweet potato for about 5 minutes. Add all the seasonings and the stock, and stir well. Simmer, covered, for about 15 minutes, until the squash or sweet potatoes are soft. Add the tomatoes, peppers, and chickpeas and simmer another 10 minutes or so, until all the vegetables are the consistency you like.
