Roasted winter squash soup

Sorry for the late response, distracted with all the VK leaving stuff.

-1 squash (butternut, acorn, banana or Hubbard), I used buttercup medium sized
-3 garlic heads
-1 medium yam
-1 large onion (I only used a small portion for taste)
-2 qrts chicken broth
-3 carrots peeled, sliced
1/4 cup butter
-1 tbsp dried basil (1/4 c. freshly chopped)
Salt/pepper to taste

Cook the squash-i cut it in 1/2, clean out seeds, placed in ~1" of water face down in pan & microwave covered with plastic wrap-cooks faster or you can cook in oven. Same with yam. Roast garlic heads. Combine broth, onions, carrots in stove top pot. cook till tender, add garlic. Add peeled yams + squash. Add butter + basil. Puree in small batches in blender till smooth. You can use less broth or more depending how thick you want it.

Thanks Mare, I can’t wait to try it. I bought one of each of these squash/pumpkins to save seeds for next year - I just needed a recipe besides pumpkin pie…. 😬!
