Winter Squash Soup

2-2 1/2 pounds of winter squash. (I used the pre-cooked  packages in the frozen veggie section, which eliminates the prep and steaming)
4 teaspoons of olive oil
1 slice canadian bacon, chopped up ( I used three)
1 onion, chopped
3 cups low sodium broth
4 teaspoons fresh sage or 1 teaspoon dried.

If using fresh squash, peel, cube and then steam for 15 minutes
Heat oil over medium, saute onion and bacon until onion is light golden, approx. 5 minutes.
Add squash and broth, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15. Use food processor or hand blender to puree, add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with sage sprinkled on top (optional).
