Look for butternut squash that are heavy for their size and have smooth skin that’s free of soft spots. Or to keep prep as simple as possible, look for precut cubes in your grocery store’s produce department. Got leftover squash? You can use it in a butternut-bulgur chili. And if you’ve got some fresh herbs on hand, give this delicious soup a quick garnish: Chopped mint, parsley, or cilantro would be excellent!
