Southwest Ghost Town Soup

Directions

1. Cut squash in half lengthwise; discard seeds. Place squash cut side down in a greased shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-1/2 hours or until tender. Cool slightly; scoop out pulp to measure 3 cups. Transfer to a large bowl.
2. In a small skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Add to squash. Stir in the broth and seasonings. In a blender, process squash mixture in batches until smooth. Transfer to the large saucepan; heat through.
3. In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, cream and lime juice. Top each serving with a dollop of sour cream mixture. Using a toothpick, swirl the dollop into the shape of a ghost.
