Autumn squash soup with country ham and garlic croutes (Crème de potiron) from The Cooking of Southwest France: Recipes from France's Magnificent Rustic Cuisine (page 67) by Paula Wolfert

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute serrano ham or prosciutto for jambon de Bayonne.

    Wonderful with most any winter squash. I add a splash of dry sherry before serving. I have also used leftover baked ham,as well as Serrano or prosciutto.

    I fully agree with cjb. The soup is very good but it's the garnishes that make it really special.

    Soup is quite good, but topping is fabulous.
