Instructions: Put the whole squash in a microwave oven and cook on high power for 8 minutes. Peel the squash and cut into cubes. (If you dont have a microwave oven, this step may be omitted. This brief cooking time simply makes the squash easier to peel and cut up.) Place all of the ingredients in a large soup pot and simmer over medium-low heat for 45 minutes. Place the soup in a blender or food processor, in batches, and blend until smooth and creamy.
