How to Choose a Butternut Squash:
When picking out a butternut squash, first look for color. It should be a solid beige color and not have any deep cuts or bruises. Sometimes they get a little scratched during shipping and at the grocery store. Small surface only scratches are fine. Next, pick up the squash. If it feels heavy for its size, it’s a good one.
Time Saving Tip:
If you want to make the prep work a bit easier, you can usually find pre-cut squash in the produce section of most grocery stores.
Cream:
We love the richness cream gives to this soup, but if you are looking for a lighter soup you can substitute with half and half. If you enjoyed this recipe, you may enjoy these other classic soup recipes:
