Note

Safety First: Always wear surgical gloves when handling habanero peppers to avoid skin irritation and eye burns. Wash your hands thoroughly after removing gloves.

Spicy Adjustment: For a milder soup, omit the habanero or use only half. For extra heat, leave some seeds in the pepper.

Ingredient Substitutions: You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a fully vegetarian version. Squash can be swapped with butternut squash, acorn squash, or pumpkin.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or broth if needed.

Serving Suggestion: Serve hot with crusty bread or rice. A squeeze of fresh lime juice can add a nice brightness to the final dish.
