3 Garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbsp. chopped fresh Sage
½ tbsp. minced fresh Rosemary
1 tsp. grated fresh Ginger
3 to 4 cups Vegetable broth

Directions
In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil and add onion, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 5 to 8 minutes until soft.

- Simmer the mixture for 25 to 30 minutes or until the squash is tender. Let the soup cool slightly.
Pour the soup into a blender and blend until smooth. Work in batches if necessary. Add more broth if the soup is too thick and blend.
