Help! In need of squash advice...

Hi there,

Can anyone tell me if a butternut squash can be substituted for Delicata squash??? The recipe I am looking at for a squash soup calls for 3 Delicata squashes. Is the appropriate substitute 3 whole butternut squashes??? I didn't see the delicata in the store so I ended up grabbing the butternut.

I am a newbie to making squash and am making it for a dinner party tonight (bad idea to try something new with company, right??)

Any insight would be much appreciated! Thank you!

I just Googled this because I've never heard of Delicata squash and it piqued my interest! Apparently, both Delicata and Butternut squash both have a taste similar to sweet potatoes. From what the article said, you can substitute any winter squash interchangeably. Hope that helps!
