    I precooked/roasted the squash in the microwave, and pureed it after adding it to the chicken stock and tomatoes. It really thickens up the soup, and know one knows their eating squash after you spice your soup like any other chili. Recommend you try it. The entire family enjoyed this..kids too. - 1/6/09
