    3       ea           Medium zucchini, grated
    3       ea           Medium summer squash, grated
    3       t            Curry powder
    1       x            Salt
    1       x            White pepper
    6       c            Chicken stock

    1       c            Heavy cream
    1       ea           Stick sweet butter
 
   Chop the onion, the leek, and the scallions.  Reserve a little of the
   grenner parts of the scallions for garnish.  Grate the squashes, seeds
   and all.  In a heavy pot melt the sweet butter. When the butter foams
   and is quite fragrant, add curry powder, and cook while stirring for 2
   or 3 minutes.  Add the onions, leeks, scallions, and squash, and
   season to taste with salt and pepper.  Saute this mixture briefly,
   then turn down the heat, cover, and cook until squash is soft and
   juices have been extracted.  Uncover, and evaporate half of the juice.
   Add the chicken stock and potatoes.  Cook uncovered for 15 minutes, or
   until potatoes are just cooked through.
   To Serve: Hot, country style - add the heavy cream and serve in warmed
   soup bowls.  Pureed - chilled or hot - let the soup mixture cool, then
   puree in batches in food processor or blender. Strain the puree.  Stir
   in heavy cream.  Serve iced or heated. Garnish with reserved
   scallions.
