I'm not sure if I spelled butternut properly, but anyway, I bought one
because I had a soup that was awesome with it. I'm not sure how to make
it though. I'm also pondering any other ways that might be good to cook
it. Any suggestions?

The best way I've found to use butternut (yes, afaik, that's how you
spell it) is to cut it into inch-cubes and roast it, with potatoes,
sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots etc.

Since this started with soup, I'd also like to point out that there
are quite a few different kinds you can make with the squash. Also
the various winter squashes are often interchangeable in many recipes.

One site I'm fond of for soup recipes is
URI:http://www.soupsong.com
It's not a veg*n site, but many of the recipes are easily adapted.

Searching there for butternut squash yields these promising ones:
Brazilian Winter Squash Soup (quibebe):

Balkabagi Corbasi (Turkish pumpkin soup):

And one from Kurt Cobain(!):

I like it or any other "hard" squash just cut into cubes and simmered in
water with salt and some butter until tender and most of the water has
evaporated. Actually, just had butternut squash that way the other day.

Large Butternut squash roughly cut (peeled)
1-2 large sweet onion(s)
Salt
Fresh grated ginger
Tamari


Bring about two quarts of water and the roughly chopped onion to a simmer.
Cook onion until soft. Throw in squash and simmer until it begins to fall
apart. Puree in blender, or whatever you have. Adjust for salt. Depending
on how muych soup you have and/or your taste, toss in about a 1/4 cup of
fresh squeezed ginger juice. Add a little tamari if you wish.

This soup is great with buttercup squash also.

Is that quantity correct? Even with new ginger root (which has a lot of
water in it), that seems like a huge amount of ginger juice to me.

Cut in half lengthways and microwave until soft enough to mash - about
10-15 minutes depending on your microwave. Remove seeds, peel, and
mash with salt and pepper and cream (soya cream or cows' cream). You
could boil or steam it instead of microwaving but it might come out soggier.

Leftovers can be put into pie - line a pie tin with pastry, add the
mashed squash, and bake until the pastry is cooked. Nice hot or cold.
