You can add flavour using various condiments, herbs and spices.
Butternut squash can be prepared fairly quickly with a few simple ingredients. To prepare the soup, add chopped onion, carrot, celery, and potatoes to a pan of melted butter. Add chicken or vegetable stock just enough to cover the vegetables and let simmer for 40 minutes. Transfer the soup to a blender and finish with salt and pepper accordingly.
Mashed Butternut Squash1 butternut squash, peeled and cubedbutter to tastesalt and pepperIn large saucepan of boiling salted water, cook squash for 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and return to pot. Mash with butter, salt and pepper. Serves 4. Some recommend roasting the squash instead of boiling it. Just slice it in half, scoop out the seeds and "place squash in ungreased baking dish,131/2x9x2 inches. Season cut sides with salt and pepper;dot with butter or margarine. Pour water into dish to 1/4-inch depth; cover with aluminum foil. Bake in 400 degree oven 30 minutes or until tender." From there you can scoop out the now-soft flesh, mash and add butter, salt and pepper.
There are lots of things which are compounds and add flavour. The most common and simple one is salt, sodium chloride. All herbs, spices and condiments contain many compounds. The additive MSG is a compound and enhances your sensitivity to flavour.

Condiments are salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard, or pickle that is used to add flavour to food. So, tea and sugar are not classed as condiments.
They are substances such as salt, pepper, mustard, chutney or pickle which add flavour to the food
Add Cordial/Squash.
LOL, No. It's primarily avocados, some lime/lemon or at least the juice from either (to cut down on it turning brown and add a little tangy flavor), salt, and whatever else the particular recipe calls for which might include tomato, onion, pepper, and some other common condiments or herbs.
Add spices, herbs, salt, garlic
The very best way to have it is roasted -- either cut in half and seeded, or sliced onto a baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt/pepper and any of: curry, paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic, onion powder, etc... and bake at about 350 until it browns. You can also steam or or simmer it, then optionally pure into something like mashed potatoes. Add honey or maple syrup or sauteed onions. Good as baby food. It's a very flexible vegetable - you can even grill chunks of it, adding a drop of BBQ or chili sauce at the end.
There's no great mystery why people add spices and herbs to things. They taste good! It's as simple as that.
