I don't mind my soup cold. You can also spice it up with a dash of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Try different variations to create your own special squash soup.
Lovely! Butternut squash is one of the vegetables that can make almost every dish taste good. Your recipe sounds lovely. I sometimes add carrots to mine. I never thought of cinnamon, or having it cold - I'll try that too.
