Ingredients

    1 tbsp Sunflower Oil
    1 large carrot, diced
    1 large orange bell pepper, diced
    3 cloves of garlic, diced
    1 Oriental Winter Squash (I used the red one for this. the super smooth texture when baked made it amazing for this application) baked until fork easily pierces rind then scooped out into a bowl
    11/4 cups frozen corn
    1 1/2 cups chicken (I pulled mine off the carcass, would also be excellent with turkey pastrami or ham..or nothing)
    Salt
    Pepper
    2 tbsp hot sauce of your choice
    3 cups stock (I used homemade pork stock)

Directions

Makes 4 big servings or 6 little ones.

Mix squash with frozen corn and meat and set aside.

Heat oil in pan over med heat, saute garlic, carrot and pepper until tender. Salt a bit. Pepper.
Add stock. Add hot sauce. Bring to a boil and simmer until veggies are as soft as you like.
Slowly add the squash mixture. A scoop at a time and stir it in until it dissolves. Once it's all in it should be thick and creamy. Heat to desired temp and then dish up.
