Remove the ends and slice the squash in half. Scoop out the seeds and stringy stuff from the middle (note: you can wash and toast the seeds with a little salt for a nice snack or garnish for the soup).<br /> <br /> Find a baking sheet that will fit all four halves of your squash cut-side down. If you like, spread some aluminum foil on the baking sheet to prevent the squash juice from sticking and burning while it cooks (the stuff can make a big mess). Spread some olive oil on the surface of the foil/pan and salt the squash lightly. <br /> <br /> Bake the squash for approximately 45-75 minutes, until it is soft all the way through and browned around the edges (the amount of time varies a lot depending on the size and freshness of your squash). Every 20 minutes or so, you should check for burnt spots or uneven cooking. If necessary, you can cover part of the squash with some additional foil or rotate the pan to avoid bad burns. Some caramelization around the edges is a good thing.<br /> <br /> Once the squash is done, remove it from the oven and allow to cool for at least 20 or 30 minutes. Once it's cool enough to handle, remove the skin and set the delicious roasted flesh aside. If you want to make life truly easy, roast the squash a few hours or a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.until you're ready to make the rest of the soup.<br /> <br /> ==Saute everything==<br /> <br /> Heat a large sauce pan on medium-high and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the onions and let them simmer for a few minutes until they start to become translucent. Add the oregano, some salt, and the garlic and simmer for another minute or two, stirring regularly to keep things from burning. Add the leeks and stir well, then allow everything to simmer for another 4-5 minutes. Once the leeks are starting to soften and everything is looking well-mixed, add the roasted squash (you might want to cut or tear the squash into chunks at this point). Stir and saute everything for another 5 minutes or so until the squash is well incorporated and heated through. Add enough broth so that it comes up to the level of the vegetables. Cover the pot and bring everything to boil. Reduce the heat and allow everything to simmer together for about 15 minutes so that the flavors integrate.<br /> <br /> ==Will it blend?==<br /> <br /> In as many batches as necessary, puree the soupy vegetable mixture. After you blend the first batch, test for flavor and add salt, broth, or even a little extra olive oil as you see fit. The puree should be pretty thick, but pourable. <br /> <br /> Once you've blended everything, return it to your pot (or some other large receptacle of your choosing) and stir well. Taste again for salt, texture and richness and adjust accordingly.<br /> <br /> Serve &amp; enjoy!</div> Aaronshaw
