Judging by the soup's color, l'd say acorn squash is the same as butternut squash, which I love but find a bit challenging to peel. Does anyone know of an easy way to peel this squash? I like using it as a substitute in savory pumpkin recipes because it has a nice, creamy texture when cooked although I find pumpkin easier to peel.

A comforting dish, acorn squash soup is creamy, savory, spicy, tangy and subtly sweet. I also tried the vegetable soup recipe from gourmandia.com . I like the twist of recipes here.

This soup sounds really good and I can't wait to try it. Sure not waiting to this fall to try it. Besides it never really get real cold in south Florida.
