Roasted Squash With Prosciutto image

Not only is this roasted butternut squash delicious as is - spiked with crispy prosciutto and maple syrup - but the leftovers also are equally delicious turned into soup. Combine the leftovers with a quart or two of chicken broth, some chopped carrots and potatoes, and some leftover chicken or turkey. There is no need to buy the pricier imported prosciutto for this recipe; the more affordable domestic varieties work well.
