I made this last night (with some modifications -- I'm vegan, so no chicken broth or cream for me -- veggie broth and soy milk all the way, baby!) and it was SO GOOD! The hubby even raved about it.

And there's leftovers for tonight, too. :happy:

Also... when I cooked the squash, I baked it in a baking dish, cut side down, in about a 1/2 inch water (no oil), and I also cooked up the onion and corn in a little water, as well. Not that there's anything wrong with olive oil! But water can be subbed in without a problem.

I will have to try this without dairy (lactose intolerance)...and when I do, I will put it in the" my recipes" and get the nutritioinal info from there (you can do that with any recipe you have! All you gotta do is go to the food tab and then click on the 'my recipes" header - type in the ingredients and how many servings and you are golden).
