1. Carefully cut squash in half with a cleaver or large heavy chef 's knife, and scoop out the seeds. Cut away the peel and cut the orange flesh into 1-inch pieces. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat, and cook the onion and garlic, stirring, until they begin to brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the squash and all the remaining ingredients, except the sour cream and cilantro. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, 15 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender.
2. Transfer the soup to a blender or food processor and purée the soup in batches until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add additional hot broth a little at a time.
3. Return the soup to the pan and bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Serve hot, garnished with a swirl of crema, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
