.... I love soup!! This is so worth the chopping and puree process. I've made this as a 'trial run' before Christmas, then served it at 2 separate Christmas dinners to people who "arent'" soup people and they LOVE it too!!!!
Way too spicy

The recipe was way too spicy. The hot peppers completely overwhelmed the flavor of the squash and apple. It was really pretty inedible, even after cutting it with cream and some more squash/apple. It went down the drain.
Hot

This was a simple yet powerful recipe. The soup was excellent but a wee bit spicy for general family member consumption. The real winner with this recipe is the candied walnuts.
Didn't like the spices.

This is a great soup for Thanksgiving. I didn't like the spice rub from this recipe, so I changed the spice addition to the following and I liked it much better: 1 tsp. Cinnamon 1/8 tsp. Allspice 1/8 tsp. Ground Cloves Pinch chili powder
Excellent soup

I've made this soup a few times and everyone, I mean everyone loves it!! It's better the day after you make it. For those who reviewed this soup and didn't like it.... You did something wrong. This soup is the BOMB!!!!
The walnuts are delicious!

It was a little time consuming making this recipe, but definitely worth it in the end. We had it as our first course for thanksgiving dinner and it was a hit all around. Can't get enough of the walnuts either. I'm making another batch tonight. Its a nice treat to snack on!
Fabulous - especially the nuts!

This soup was wonderful, but the sweet and spicy walnuts were a huge hit. I put them out in a bowl and nobody could resist.

This soup wasn't what I thought it would be. It didn't have a "coutry italian" taste like it was proported to have. The apple taste is almost nonexistant.
Amazing!

I made this last year on Thanksgiving and it was a hit! I replaced the walnuts with pecans for allergy purposes and I think it worked out perfectly. The soup was the only thing everyone ate every drop of. This is definitely a tradition from now on in my house!
WOW

I made this for Thanksgiving 2006. My entire family simply found it too sweet rather than savory. It was good...but definitely not worth the effort. I'll stick with butternut squash soups withOUT the apples.
Sweet

This soup was awful. My husband typically raves about my cooking and can't get enough. I made this soup and he could barely swallow it down. The flavor is very intense and strange.
DELICIOUS and HEALTHY

Hands down-the best use of squash and apples ever-I love the spice-if you didn't like it-you messed up the recipe-I think if you threw it out-you probably used all the Toasted Spice Rub and not 2 teaspoonful-the only variation I did was to add about 1/2 cup of half-half-the walnuts were also a hit.
Best soup ever!

This is a great looking, great tasting soup, and versatile as well. If time constrained you can skip the candied walnuts and even improvise on the spice mix without the time for toasting whole seeds and the flavor and spice/heat still come through to give this hearty soup a wonderful aroma and taste. The first soup I've made other than chowders and chilis and it was a breeze.

In my endeavor to satisfy my palate with the aromatic and wonderful flavors of autumn, I set out to try a new recipe for Butternut Squash Soup. To put it simply, this one is heavenly. It is truly better than any variety of squash soup that I've had in hoity-toity restaurants! Try it, you LOVE it!

Complex flavors in an earthy soup. Warms the soul. I didn't make the walnuts this time and instead used a dollop of creme fraiche. Some fruit and cheese would be great with this but I ate two bowls of soup instead.
My own version...

This is one of the best soups I have had in my entire life!!! However, I replaced the rub recipe for a teaspoon of cinnamon and half a teaspoon of all-spice, and it turned out easier and even better than the original recipe!!! I know that if I serve this for Thanksgiving, it will be a major hit... Thanks Michael!!!

This was good, a little messy though. It turned everything orange. It is good with a little sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and a pat of butter!

I saw Michael make the soup and I realized that I had frozen butternut Squash and apples available. I had another recipe but it didn't have the apples in it so I used Michael's recipe. I made the soup tonight and my husband and I loved it. I deviated from the spices as I didn't have all the ingredients so I used pepper, salt, red pepper flakes and cinammon and it was delicious.
Great soup!

The first time I made this soup, something was missing. It was missing something. So this time I added Spicy Turkey sausage when I added the leeks and garlic. After blending it, the texture was much more appealing and the taste was AWESOME!
Best butternut squash soup I've ever had!

This was so good. Like a couple of others, I did not make the spice mixture. I just added 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and and 1/2 teaspoon of curry.

My husband insists we serve this soup to his staff as an appetizer for one of our dinners. With Michael's spice rub, the soup has an unforgettable, homey flavor. Absolutely delicious!

Loved the flavor and very easy to make. That squash is just a pain to cut up though! Great combo of flavors - loved it!
Why the walnuts?

The soup was easy enough to make. Even the toasted spices for the soup were easy enough. However, the garnish of walnuts was a pain to make and added nothing to the flavor of the soup. Simple crouton would have been just fine.
this is what i'm talking about

THIS is the michael chiarello squash and apple soup recipe I meant to review. It's fantastic, and to kick it in the pants even more- add some creme fraiche and chunks of dungeness crab meat. yum. And the toasted fennel spice rub is my go-to spice! I slip it into everything from roasted meats to sweets!

We just made this soup for a New Year's Eve dinner party (Fruit and Nuts theme) and it was a hit. I used organic chicken broth, and did not need to add the additional water. I also found spicy, candied pecans at Trader Joe's to use in place of making the walnuts. I added a few tablespoons of half and half to the soup as well. I would definetly make this soup again, especially since I have LOTS of the toasted spice rub left! And I might try increasing the garlic amount next time, only because I love garlic.
