Butternut Squash Soup

I know it looks like baby food but it tastes really good. I tried using a different variation of squash one time but didn't like it as much as the butternut kind. Very fast meal to put together!
1 lb Butternut squash
1 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 cloves Garlic
1 tsp. Brown Sugar
2 C. Chicken Broth
dash of Salt
dash of pepper
Pre-heat oven to 425*. Peel and cut squash into 1" cubes. Toss squash, oil, brown sugar, salt and garlic. Wrap in tin foil and bake in oven for 20 min or until tender. Blend small amounts of baked squash and chicken broth until smooth. Heat in pot on stove and serve.
