2 large Butternut Squash or about 2 lbs/ 6 cups after peeled
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Tsp. Pepper
2 Tsp. Minced Garlic
1/2 Onion, chopped
4 tbsp. Butter
3 c. Chicken Broth
1/2 tsp. marjoram (dried)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Clean squash and cut into 8 pieces and place in baking dish.
Sprinkle squash with olive oil, salt, pepper and minced garlic.
Place in preheated oven and roast for 1 hour, 15 minutes.
Remove skin from squash (an additional minute in the microwave will help if skin is stubborn)
Meanwhile, saute onions and butter in a large stock pot until tender.
Add spices and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
Puree squash and cream cheese in a food processor or blender. (I use a blender.)
Blend until very smooth.
