- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated
- 5 Tbsp butter, unsalted
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 2 Tbsp Vegetable oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste

Cut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds( I soften the squash in the micro for 5 min first to make it easier to cut).

Bake for 45 minutes in a 350 degree oven.

Heat butter in a saucepan and saute onion, garlic and ginger over low medium heat until onion is cooked.

When squash is cooled, scoop flesh from skin and add to saucepan.
