Squash Soup base

I accustomed not like uptake squash, as I didn't just like the texture. however I presently complete I likeable it mashed into a soup. I like doing it by hand with a fork, no kitchen appliance, therefore it doesn't pop out too pureed. It conjointly helps the flavour mix with the onions and garlic.

Below is my squash soup base. several variations may be created thereto, eater or with cream or meat- I listed some within the last step. :)
