Butternut Squash Soup

[TreasonousBastard]

2. Excellent soup, and variations are legion...

I've left some of the chunks in there to have something to chew on. I've also added sliced green and red peppers, various hot pepper powders, curry powder, garlic, cinnamon, and cauliflower. Once I think I threw in some Brussels sprouts.

Pretty much anything goes and no matter what I've done to it, people slurp it down. Other squashes are fine, too, and I'm particularly partial to acorn. Butternut is excellent, but I suspect it's used so much more because it has such a small seed cavity.

Completely out of any kind of squash? Look for canned pumpkin and have at it.

I might make some later tonight-- this weather is calling for a solid soup.

On edit-- I get cans of beans when on sale, and garbanzos and black beans are particularly relished in a squash soup.
