Pinto Bean, Tomato, and Butternut Squash Soup
1 Tbs. olive oil
2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
4 garlic cloves
3-4 cups canned vegetable broth
2  15 oz. cans pinto beans, drained
1  17 1/2 oz. can diced tomatoes in juice
2 cups 1/2 inch pieces peeled, seeded butternut squash*
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper, or less, to taste
6 Tbs. chopped fresh basil
*Tip: for easier peeling and cutting of squash, microwave for 2 minutes to soften slightly, then cut off ends of squash and peel with a vegetable peeler.  
Heat oil in heavy, large pot over medium-high heat.  Add onions and celery; saute until onions are golden for about 7 minutes.  Add garlic and stir for 1 minute.  Add broth and next 5 ingredients.  Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer until squash is tender (about 15 minutes).  Transfer 3 cups soup to blender.  Cool slightly, then puree until smooth.  Return puree to pot with soup.  Simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper.  Ladle soup into six bowls.  Sprinkle each with 1 Tbs. basil and serve.
