butternut squash soup

1/8 cup olive oil
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2 inch cubes

4 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
2 yellow onions, roughly chopped
2 tbsp oregano
1 tsbp salt
pepper to taste
1/2 cup brown sugar
4-5 cups of chicken or vegetable stock

Pour oil and 2 cups of stock into a deep roasting pan. Add all vegetables, mix in oregano, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle sugar on top. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and roast for 1 hours at 500 degrees. Puree, adding broth to thin the soup to the desired consistency.
