Uhmm, well, though this does sound delicious . . . hmmm in fact it is
delicious.  I guess we Americans have so many pumkins and squashes that we
consider them different.  In America this recipe would be called "Cammy's
Smashing Squash Soup."  That's because we call the butternut pumpkin,
butternut squash.
