  Notes: If you want a smoother soup, puree the soup in batches in a blender. Or, use an immersion blender. Remember to move the soup off the burner before you puree it. If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of ground ginger or curry powder to the soup. If you like a thinner soup, add 2 C water. You can also use 2 C water and 2 C chicken or vegetable broth instead of the 4 C water. However, using broth will change the flavor of the soup. I prefer it with just water. You really get the flavor of the squash.
