Butternut squash substitute

[leedsloveruk]

BNS seems to be the latest "in" ingredient in receipes especially stews and soups. As I'm allergic to pumpkin I have to avoid BNS as its the same family Am unsure of the texture the BNS would give to a soup/stew and would welcome opinions and suggestions for suitable substitutes - had thought along the lines of swede or sweet potatoes - what does anyone think. Thanks xxx

Sweet potatoes would be just the sort of thing. They go well with all the same kinds of flavourings like coconut and spices.

Def sweet potatoes - I always think of them as interchangeable!

Sweet potatoes it is - thanks so much xxx

or neeps for a change (that's swede if you're English)
