Sauté an onion in a pot with a little oil, then add the squash pieces. Pour in just enough broth to cover the vegetables and simmer until the flesh is tender. Blend, adding the liquid gradually to adjust the thickness. A small diced apple can accompany sweet-fleshed squashes. When serving, add a spoonful of plain yogurt, pepper, and some fresh herbs to your taste. The size of the pieces influences cooking more than their exact shape. Check several pieces before removing the dish from the heat, especially if the harvest includes fruits of different sizes. Moist flesh sometimes requires a little more evaporation; denser flesh may need more liquid.
