Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 lbs butternut squash (1 small to medium) or 1 1/2 lbs other winter squash (1 small to medium)
1 tsp canola oil
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 small onion, diced
1 carrot, chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4-1/2 tsp ground chipotle chile (see note )
1/8 tsp ground cloves
6 cups vegetable broth
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt
2 tbsp snipped fresh chives or 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Cut squash in half and seed. Place the halves on a baking sheet, cut-side down. Bake until tender when pierced with a knife, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Scoop out flesh when cool enough to handle.
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add celery, onion and carrot and stir to coat. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the squash flesh, cumin, chipotle to taste and cloves. Add broth and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are very tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
Puree the soup with an immersion blender or a regular blender (in batches) until smooth. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.) Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with a drizzle of yogurt and sprinkle of chives (or parsley).
Tips & Notes.
Make Ahead Tip: Cover and refrigerate the soup for up to 3 days.
Note: Chipotle peppers are dried, smoked jalapeño peppers. Ground chipotle can be found in the specialty-spice section of most supermarkets or online .
