Ingredients
1 large onion (cut into large pieces)4 lage carrots (peeled,cut into 1 " pieces)4 cups, winter squash, cubed4 cup low soduim chicken brothsalt (if desired)Pepper (to taste)1/2 non fat milk
Directions
1. Pre-heat oven to 400F, in a large roasting pan place squash. Roast for 15- 45 minutes until squash is soft.
2. Place vegetables in a large pot: add broth. Cook for 10 - 20 miutes to allow flavours to combine.
3. Add milk
4. Transfer mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. (Add more water or broth to achieve desired thickness.)

Alternately, to reduce the effort of cutting up the squash, I cut it in 1/2, scoop out the seeds, fill with the onions and carrots and 1/4 cp water(each), cover with tin foil and bake. (for about 45 min). It is then easier to scoop out the squash and discard the shell!
Makes approx 6 servings of 1-1/2 cups or 4 2 cup servings

Top, when serving with a swirl of sour cream.

    Wonderful - 17 yo son deemed it "the best soup he had ever tasted". I did add nutmeg as someone else suggested, but other than that followed the recipe. Thanks Pierdy! - 1/13/11
