1 medium-size sweet onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 1/2 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 teaspoon chili powder

1
Saute onion and garlic in hot oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes or until tender. Add squash and next 3 ingredients, and cook 1 minute; stir in broth and chiles. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until squash is fork-tender.

Remove from heat, and stir in tortilla pieces. Let cool 15 minutes. Process mixture, in batches, in a blender or food processor until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed. Return squash mixture to Dutch oven.

Stir in half-and-half, and cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Garnish, if desired.
