Somewhat akin to elcee's recipe, here's another using your ingredients with the exception of the sweet potatos:
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 carrots, sliced
3 stalks celery, diced
2 small or one large butternut squash, peeled and chopped
5 cups vegetable broth (we prefer chicken broth)
2 tbsp chopped fresh sage (If you have to use dried, increase to 4 tablespoons)
1/2 cup soy milk
salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
In a large soup pot, sautee the onion and garlic in olive oil until onions turn soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Add the carrots and celery and cook for another 3 to 5 miutes.
Add the squash and stir just to coat, then add the vegetable broth and sage. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a slow simmer. Allow to cook for at least 25 minutes, or until squash is soft.
Using a potato masher or a large fork, mash the squash until smooth, or, alternatively, you can puree the soup in a food processor or blender.
Stir in the soy milk and season with salt and pepper to taste...
I would, then, bake the sweet potatos with the skins on at about 350 degrees F (sorry, we're in the U.S.) for 45 minutes or until the skins start to turn brown. Split in half and drizzle with butter and a little real maple syrup...

mandimoo if you are in hurry and love soup like me here's what I do. I just peel carrots and slice into 3 chunks; I do the same with any veg I have (nothing gets turned down in my soup). If you're blending anyway, why waste time chopping and dicing.
To be healthy just add water, stock and seasoning, cook and blend, otherwise you can cook the chunks off in some oil for a bit.
