Butternut squash soup (a winter comfort)

A recipe that is incredibly easy, tasty and healthy. Even though I was having a bit trouble cutting the squash (great strength is needed and I have none) I would still give this soup a thumb up and would definitely make it again. By the way, take a quick glance at the nutrition facts table, you will be amazed by how amazing this soup is:)
And oh .. Forgot to say, if using spinach , mushroom and onions.. Please pre-fry them first. Therefore, to save my time, I used broccoli and tomato, leftover would be a good choice too, but sadly I had none at that time。
