Squash soup

If you ask me, I would definitely say that pumpkin and squash are the same thing except pumpkin is more associated to Halloween (easier to say probably). But I did a bit of internet research and discovered that although they are of the same family, they are in fact two distinct types of vegetables. The main difference being the color and the stem. The pumpkin has a darker orange colored skin (suitable for Halloween) and a thicker, sturdier stem (better handling for trick or treaters). The squash would have more variety in terms of color, stem, skin, etc. What is commonly sold in local grocery stores would be considered a squash of the winter squash variety. I think they also taste different but don’t take my word for it as my only exposure has been to the local vegetable.
