Using the back of a wooden spoon squash some of the butternut squash along the side of the sauce pan...this will make the soup thicker and richer....If you have a potato masher just smash very easily. You dont want the soup to be totally liquified. 12. Season at the end with some freshly ground black pepper (and you can add salt to taste...)
