 3 ½ cups cups low-sodium chicken broth (28 oz.)

Preheat oven to 400°F.

2

Cut butternut squash in half lengthwise, remove seeds, and pierce squash skin with fork.

3

Brush squash halves with 1 tablespoon oil, and place halves flesh-side down in pan.

4

Fill pan with ¼ cup water to prevent squash from drying.

9

Pour pureed vegetables back into large pot. Add one can of chicken broth to pot; simmer.

10

Meanwhile, scoop flesh from one squash half. Add second can of broth and squash flesh to WildSide+ jar. Secure lid and select "Soup" or blend on High (speed 8 or 9) for 90-180 seconds.
