Adjust soups consistency with a little water if necessary. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
Tips:
- Choose the right butternut squash: Look for squashes that are medium in size and have a deep orange color. Avoid squashes that are too large, as they may be woody and less flavorful.
- Roast the butternut squash before pureeing it: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a high-powered blender or food processor: This will ensure that the soup is smooth and creamy.
- Add seasonings to taste: You can add a variety of seasonings to the soup, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutmeg.
