I had a sample of this at the Market one day and decided to make a pot of it a couple of weeks ago (much to a few friends delight). They devoured the whole pot in one sitting.

CHUPE (PERUVIAN SHRIMP CHOWDER)
Chupe is a traditional Peruvian chowder made from zapallo and seafood. Zapallo is a very large, pumpkin-like squash; however, it is brighter and sweeter than a regular pumpkin. Because it is not widely available I've substituted a butternut squash which comes close in sweetness and texture. Some recipes call for cream cheese but I prefer feta, as it balances out the sweetness of the squash very nicely.
