How do I measure a negative voltage with a ADC?

I am working with a PIC micro-controller with inbuilt 10bit ADC and want to measure a voltage in the range of -1 to -3Volts.
I thought of using an op-amp in the inverting mode to make voltage positive and then feed it to the adc of the microcontroller however here I would have to power the opamp with a negative power supply, right?. I don't want to use a negative power supply at the moment and was wondering whether it was possible to achieve this configuration? Can you'll help out?
