5. Italian Seasoning
Italian seasoning consists of a mixture of several dried herbs. The herbs included in this blend are typically oregano, marjoram, basil, thyme, and rosemary. The combination of these herbs will help to enhance the flavors of the squash. All of these herbs can be used alone or they can be used in combination as a way to bring out the flavors of your butternut squash soup.
Butter or olive oil can be used as a way to get the herbs onto the squash in order to fully enhance the flavor of the vegetable. You can marinate the squash with the butter or oil and herb mixture overnight to get the full effect of these herbs. When cooking the herbs will seep into the squash, enhancing all of those wonderful flavors. When this squash is then used in a soup recipe you will have a flavorful dish that you will want more and more of.
