Kabocha Spinach Soup
I found this easy recipe on the Whole Foods Market web site. It's quick and easy and very yummy. They suggest serving with hearty bread, but I've eaten it over bulgur wheat and that worked great.

Bring kabocha squash, onion, and garlic to a boil in 4 cups of water or stock. Simmer at a low boil until squash is completely soft, about 15 minutes. Mash the squash, onion, and garlic with a potato masher in the soup pot. Add the spinach and cook for just a couple more minutes. Season to taste with sea salt and pepper. Garnish with organic sour cream, mozzarella cheese, or crumbled feta.
