If you're talking about winter squash, yes you can. I've made soup from
them by running the flesh through the food processor, adding spices and
bit of milk and cooking. They can be cooked in about any way you can
cook summer squash but it takes longer because winter squash flesh is
much more firm. Think about pumpkin recipes and then sub winter squash.
Pumpkin is just a big squash basically.
