I loved it, my hubby loved it, even my 10-year old loved it! I doubled the recipe (didn't know what else to do with half a squash - makes great leftovers) and put everything in a big roasting pan. I only roasted the veggies for about 30 minutes, as they were tender and starting to darken. I think I would call this a bisque as it was pretty thick - its a beautiful orange color and the rosemary sprigs give it excellent flavor. I will be making this again!
