INSTRUCTIONS
This recipe comes from a beautiful cookbook called Chic Simple Cooking that has some of the best food photography I've ever seen. Heat oil in a large soup or stock pot over medium-low heat. Add the onion and saut until the onion is golden, about 5-10 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, raise the heat to high and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to low an simmer, partially covered, for 25 minutes or until the squash is tender. Puree the soup with your hand blender, ( one of my favorite tools) a blender, or a food processor. Garnish each serving with orange slices.
