Re: Winter Squash

An easier way to cook squash so you don’t have to peel it is bake it in the oven. Once cooked scoop the inside out and make your soup. It’s FAR easier.
That squash skin IS very tough indeed.

It does make a thicker soup so I use a lot of stock, but the roughage is good for you

I feed the seeds to the hens usually but sometimes roast them to snack on
