In a soup pot, melt the butter and slowly cook the onions and fennel with a pinch of salt over very low heat until softened and translucent. Next, add the grated ginger and Vadouvan curry to the pot and allow to toast the spices for 2 minutes. Add the cubed squash, cover the pot and cook for 3 minutes then add stock and bring to a low simmer. Season with a pinch of salt to and cook covered until the squash is soft enough to mush then add in the crème fraiche.  Transfer the mixture to a blender and puree over high speed until very smooth being careful not to get splatter burned from the hot soup.
