Ingredients:  
3/4 Lbs. peeled and deveined med. size shrimp*
2Tbsp. olive Oil + 1 Tbsp. butter

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Split squash in halves, scoop out seeds and place cut side down on cookie sheet for 45 mins. to 1 hr. Scoop out squash discarding skin and set aside. Melt butter with olive oil in soup pan over med. high heat; add onion and saute until tender, add curry powder and thyme and 1 can broth. Add cooked squash and mix. Add shrimp and cook for 5 mins This mixture will be placed in food processor (or blender in stages; I use immersion blender right in the soup pot) to puree. Process mixture until smooth stopping to scrape down sides. Return mixture to saucepan; add rest of broth. Stir and bring up to simmer. Stir in half and half, salt and cayenne, reduce heat to low and simmer 5 minutes & serve. Garnish if desired.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
If you do not have an immersion blender be very careful to let mixture cool enough to transfer back and forth to blender/processor and back to pot so as not to burn yourself.
*withhold approx. 1/4 lb. shrimp to cut in pieces and place in bowls before pouring soup in serving bowl.
