As summer winds down, there’s so much variety of fresh vegetables: lots of pumpkins, squash, apples, and more.
Butternut squash is a favorite, as it tastes a little sweeter than other types of winter squashes. It’s a popular cool-season vegetable packed with nutrition and a great source of healthy carbohydrates.
Soups are a comfort food favored by many (think asparagus, tomato, bean soup, etc.). And butternut squat is a great option for a tasty soup.
The hard outer shell is not edible like the summer squash, but it acts as a preservative that helps extend the life of the squash. This makes it possible to enjoy your favorite dishes throughout the fall and winter seasons. The inside is firm and tasty just like it is but certain herbs and spices can help enhance the natural flavor of the squash, making it taste even better.
You can serve butternut squash in several different ways such as baked, in a soup, or in stews, but roasting is certainly one of the most popular ways to prepare it. Pumpkin pie may be one of the most popular dishes served during the fall and winter holidays but recipes using winter squash are gaining in popularity. Here are a few great butternut squash soup recipes for you to try.
