Directions
Preheat the oven to 350. If serving in a hallowed-out pumpkin, top and de-seed the pumpkin. Quarter and de-seed the sugar pumpkin and the butternut squash. Place all in oven on a baking sheet for 45 minutes with a spray of Pam.

While squash bakes, cube the potatoes, slice the leek, chop the onions and roughly chop the garlic. Place all but potatoes in a soup pot over medium heat to soften (do not burn).

When onions have softened, add potatoes, thyme, bay leaves and red pepper flakes and chicken broth. Increase heat, bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.

Remove pumpkins and squash from oven. Take meat from the squash and the sugar pumpkin, cube and add to the pot. Cook until all ingredients are soft.

Puree in batches in blender or food processor until smooth. Add fat-free half and half and can't believe it's not butter and nutmeg. Stir and serve.
