Bring to boiling. Reduce heat to very low. Peel and discard skin from squash. Mash flesh lightly, add to stock pot, and cook about 5 minutes. Pour soup into container of blender, in batches if necessary, and process until smooth but still thick. Return soup to heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
