Ingredients

1 whole Dried chipotles (3 if you can take the heat)

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 medium Onion diced

1 teaspoon Cumin

1 1/2 pounds red Hubbard squash cubed

4 cups low-sodium Chicken broth warmed

15 1/2 fluid oz Canned White beans

pepper to taste


Directions

Break stem(s) from pepper(s) and remove seeds. Soak dried peppers in enough warm water to cover. For 1 1/2 pounds squash (about 4 pounds cubed), start with a 2-pound Hubbard squash. Bake squash in 350 degree oven for at least one hour, or until skin is tender . Halve squash, scrape out seeds, and peel with a paring knife or scrape flesh from skin. Heat oil over medium heat and add onion and cumin, stirring frequently until onions are caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add squash and peppers and their liquid. Add broth, bring to boil and reduce to simmer, covered for 30 minutes or until squash and onions are tender. Drain beans. Add 1/3 to 1/2 to soup. Puree soup in until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Add remaining beans. Serve hot with cooked greens. Quick-cooking variation: Substitute 1 1/2 pounds of canned pumpkin or winter squash for the 1 1/2 pounds of Hubbard squash. Cook soup for 10 minutes before pureeing.

My local Supermarket didn't have Hubbard squash, so I substituted Butternut and Acorn. At first it was a bit too sweet. After adding the some fresh lime juice and a couple of pinches of parsley it was fantastic!

Delicious, and perfect for chilly days. I added a couple of cloves of garlic—'cause who can resist garlic—and some lemon juice (because in my family we believe that lemon juice makes EVERYTHING better).
