My daughter made this recipe and it was fairly easy. It was very sweet. We felt like it needed additional spices. She added some cinnamon and nutmeg and a little more salt. We would not try this recipe again, but will continue looking and trying butternut Squash soup receipes until we find the right one.

this was a good base recipe but it needs way more butternut squash..it was too watery. I ended up adding some corn (didnt have more squash). Also, the apple cider made it very sweet and tart. I might use less in the future.

These were a hit at my dinner party! I made the recipe vegan by using rice milk and soy butter instead.




Great with some additions!

I altered the recipe a bit based on other comments: I added another cup of squash (4 total). For liquid I used 1 cup of water, 3 cups of chicken stock, and 1 cup of apple cider. Then I added 1 Tbl of chopped fresh sage, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. YUM!!




Excellent!!

I make a huge batch of this soup in the early fall and give some to all of my family. It gets you in the mood for all of Fall's pleasures - apple picking, pumpkin patches. Even the kids love it with a dallop of sour cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg.




Company loved it

This recipe was very bland. The butternut squash is tasty, but without something 'extra' it really just tasted like my daughters baby food to me. Also, the croutons soaked up all the extra water, so the soup was very thick by the time I even got it to my guests.
