While the squash is cooking, put butter in a large stock pot set
over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the onion
and sauté for about 8 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the apples
and sugar; sauté an additional 12 minutes, or until the apples are
soft. Add the ginger and sauté until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Stir in the roasted squash, stock and spices. Bring the mixture to a
boil and then reduce heat so that the mixture is just simmering. Let
the soup simmer for about 1 hour.
Strain the soup, reserving solids and liquid separately. Place half of
the liquid and half of the solids in the jar of the Cuisinart
