• Cut the squash in half, and clean. Roast in 350 oven, cut side down,for 30 to 45 min, until squash is tender. At the same time, cook the potato (I like to use the microwave) or use leftover mashed potatoes.
• While the squash and potato are cooking, blanch the cut green beans in boiling water for about 5 min, and set aside.
• Cook the chicken breasts in a skillet with 1 tsp butter until done (about 10 to 15 min).

• Puree the squash and potato with a little of the milk in a blender or food processor then put in a soup pot. Add a 1/2 cup or so of the chicken broth to skillet with onion and green beans, to get out all the flavor, then add to soup pot. Add the rest of the broth and milk to the pot, along with the curry powders and ginger.
• Dice chicken into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes and add to soup pot.
• Simmer for 1/2 hour or so. Add more broth or milk to desired consistency, as well as salt to taste.
