Ingredients for Toast:
French bread - 4 (1-ounce) slices
Swiss cheese - 3 ounces (thinly sliced)

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add squash, carrot, onion, and sauté for 12 minutes. Add chicken broth, and bring to a boil. 
  2. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in half-and-half and salt. Preheat broiler.
  3. Place squash mixture in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape), and secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over the opening of the blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth.
