Ingredients
Directions
To cook squash, preheat oven to 350°F. Split squash in half lengthwise, and remove seeds and strings with a spoon. Place it in a shallow baking pan with 1 inch of water and bake for about 45 minutes, until soft. When soft, scoop flesh from skin and mash with a fork or potato masher.
In a medium saucepan, sauté onion with margarine. Add flour when onions soften. Slowly add chicken broth a few ounces at a time, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil. Lower heat and gradually stir in milk and mashed squash. Add seasonings. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
