Place sweet potatoes on baking sheet and bake at 375 for 50 minutes, or until very tender. Let cool, and peel.
Combine sweet potatoes, molasses, ginger root, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Beat at medium speed with a mixer until smooth. Set aside.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add squash and next six ingredients (squash through onion); saute for 8 minutes. Add broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
