Wonderful "fall-flavored" soup! I attempted to make this a bit easier by roasting the squash (cut in half vertically, remove seeds, cut sides down in 1" of water at 350 degrees for 40 minutes, allowing it to cool a bit before removing flesh with a large spoon) and, because I was not boiling peeled squash pieces, I sauteed the onion in a bit of olive oil until soft. I confess to not adding the tomato paste only because I had none in the house at the time. The squash is creamy enough in texture that I used non-fat milk in the preparation. Thank you for this recipe!

I am a 56 year old Gramma that, for the first time in my life, has purchase myself a computer, and I didn't know what i was missing!! I have a husband tha I adore, and 4 grandchildren that of course surpass all others - lol - I am disabled, and am an at home person, so I have a lot of time on my hands, to play with my recipes, and I am enjoying every bit of it - My husband will eat anything that I cook, so I have carte blanche as far as that goes, so I have a great time trying out new recipes. Paula Deen has published some of my favorite cookbooks, her recipes are easy and quick to do. Her sweets are fantastics, especially her pound cakes, Yummm I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
