Squash soup is a soup prepared using squash as a primary ingredient. Squash used to prepare the soup commonly includes acorn and butternut squash.[4][5]

Preparation

Squash that has initially been separately roasted can be used in soup preparation.[5] The roasting of squash can serve to concentrate the gourd's flavor.[5] Squash soup can be prepared with chunks or pieces of squash and also with puréed squash.[6][1] Pre-cooked, frozen squash can also be used,[7] as can commercially prepared packets of pre-cooked frozen squash purée.[8] Butternut squash soup may have a sweet flavor, due to the sugars present in the squash.[7] Additional basic ingredients in squash soup's preparation can include broth, onion, cream, spices such as sage and thyme, salt and pepper.[8] Other recipes have been known to include split peas and more exotic spices such as cumin and cinnamon.[9] Pumpkin soup can be served hot or cold, and is a popular Thanksgiving dish in the United States.[2]

History

Pumpkin "pies" made by early American colonists had more similarities to being a savory soup served in a pumpkin[10] than a sweet custard in a crust.

Pumpkin soup was a staple for the prisoners of war in North Vietnamese prison camps during the Vietnam War.[3]
