It is busy roasting in the oven. The recipe says skin off but I'm sure I have seen somewhere you can leave it on. What do you think?0

Fab! That is great. I was hoping that was the case as it seems a waste to chuck it out!0 -
Wow. Thanks for that. I didn't know you could use the skin.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These
(he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...:D:D

Nigella's recipe (in her christmas book) keeps the skin on while roasting and is utterly delicious! Makes preparing the squash so easy, too.0

Does she then blitz it or scrape out the squash?
I've always taken it off but I find it really hard work so leaving it on sounds much more appealing!Piglet

I always roast skin-on, scrap it out then blitz....will try keep-skin-on method next time!0

Goodness! I had no idea you could keep the skin on! I HATE peeling butternut so buy it infrequently but now I know that, I will buy it more often0

Quite glad I asked now, it looks it will save a few people time and effort. I can also confirm that the soup is lovely.0
