- Rub a fine layer of olive oil on both sides of the squash, and place cut side down in a roasting pan.
- Bake squash for 40 45 minutes in a 350-degree oven.
- Set aside to cool.
- While the squash is roasting, saute the onion, cardamom, turmeric, coriander and ginger in the butter over moderate heat until onions are slightly translucent.
- Add the water, bouillon cubes and parsnip to the onions, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
