Notes

You'll need 3 to 4 lbs of cut butternut squash.  If you are peeling and cutting a whole butternut squash, you'll need two to three before cutting.
To make this vegetarian, use vegetable stock.  To make this vegan, use olive oil in place of the butter.
The soup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, and it freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.
