Directions
Cut the squash in half and remove the seeds.
Cover the bottom of a baking dish with ½ inch water, place the squash in it (face down) along with the garlic.
Cook at 350℉ (180℃) for 35 minutes.
When the squash has cooled, scoop out the flesh and purée in a blender with baked garlic and vegetable stock.
Place the purée in a small sauce pan along with spices and wild rice.
Heat on low until the soup is hot.
I highly recommend lots of Tabasco for a soup that packs a punch!
