How to choose a butternut squash?
When looking for the fresh butternut squash for the soup, here are a few points you need to remember:

The stem: Take a look at the stem. It should be perfectly intact, firm, to touch, and deep brown. Anything less than this is not the right choice, especially if you are planning on keeping the vegetable in the refrigerator for some time.
Color: The perfectly ripe butternut squash should have an orange-beige tone. If you have green or yellow spots, it means it is not fully ripe. Furthermore, the skin should not be shiny; instead, it should have a matte finish.
Texture: The butternut squash should be firm to touch. You can test its freshness by poking it with your fingernail. If the nail goes in easily, it means the squash is a bad one. The exterior should be quite hard.
