This soup has such a pretty color to it and I can't help but wonder how it would be, if it was used to make a bread pudding. Maybe leave a few chunks here and there of both the butternut and acorn squash, then add some nuts and raisins for texture. Of course the onion might be a little weird, but not necessarily. Especially if you love onion like I do...lol
