Squash

[bookbinder]

I have made soup using butternut squash in the past....somebody has just given me a squash....not cut into it yet, but are they similar? Didn't realise there were different kinds!

I use them in the same recipes and it tastes OK

pumpkins and squash are basically the same, they just come in different shapes and sizes.
There's one with a dark green, sort of bluey outer with a very deep orange in the middle.
These ones are fantastic in soup, they've got a texture a bit like a potato, but a really fine-grained potato.
