Ingredients

1 medium winter squash, halved and seeded
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
3 cups of chicken or vegetable broth
1 cup of heavy cream
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F.
Place the squash halves cut-side down on a baking sheet and bake for 45-50 minutes until soft.
Scoop out the flesh of the squash and set aside.
In a Dutch oven or large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add the roasted squash and broth, bringing to a boil.
Lower heat and let simmer for 20-25 minutes, until the squash is very tender.

Return to the pot and stir in the cream, salt, and pepper.
Warm the soup over low heat until heated through.
