"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

In a large saucepan, warm the oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until it begins to brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the squash, sweet potato, corn, diluted chicken broth, ginger, brown sugar, coriander and pepper, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until the squash is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, transfer the solids to a food processor or blender and process to a smooth puree. Return the puree to the saucepan and stir to blend with the liquid remaining in the pan. Serve hot.
