Roasted Butternut Squash Stew image

Roasted butternut squash in a mildly seasoned broth with onions and tomatoes, this butternut squash stew is perfect for a night when you just want to tuck and sleep in. This preparation, however, started off as a soup. Before putting the cooked stew through the blender, I took in one spoonful to taste and in that one bite I could taste the onions, the tomatoes, the garlic and the squash, individually. Each had its own texture and flavour and together they all complimented each other perfectly. And so I decided to put the blender back and enjoy the butternut squash stew as is, with all its myriad flavours and textures.
