If you want acorn squash soup, simply replace the butternut squash with an equal amount of acorn squash.

Tips and Variations:
- Use zucchini instead of squash.
- You can make this soup ahead and just reheat it when needed. If you make it in advance, don’t add the yogurt mixture until you reheat it.
- Serve a little shredded coconut with this and additional chutney if desired.
For diabetics: This is a very healthy soup, but the mango chutney has a fair bit of sugar in it. If your body is very sensitive to sugar and carbs, please feel free to replace it with a sugar free option or leave it out altogether.
