    Cook’s Note

    To make peeling the squash easier, use a vegetable peeler.

    Instead of using a blender, combine the roasted vegetables and broth in a large saucepan and purée with an immersion blender.

    To make this vegan, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
