Can I use a different type of squash?

Yes. Other winter squash varieties, such as pumpkin, acorn squash, or kabocha, can be used in place of butternut squash. Choose a squash with firm flesh that holds its shape when simmered.

What sausage works best?

Chicken apple sausage adds mild sweetness, while andouille brings spice and smokiness. Choose based on your preference.

Can I make this soup ahead of time?

Yes. This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld.
