Delicious and easy. I roast the seeds with a little salt and use them as a garnish for the soup.

Please edit this recipe to include an oven temperature for baking the squash. I baked it at 400, which was just a guess - but it worked. Thank you.
I didn't like squash until now...

A perfect soup for a cozy dinner or for an elegant dinner party. Try chopping bacon and cooking with onion- remove and serve on top as a garnish.

I am glad I read the reviews before making this soup. I took the advice of others by adding some garlic and 1 carrot to the existing recipe and the result was simply amazing. The soup was savoury with a hint of sweet. I would make this soup again as it was easy and really delicious.
Amazing!

My daughter and I love this soup. Today we added some baby carrots, a couple cloves of garlic (added with the onion), a pinch of nutmeg and a cinnamon stick to the broth. (Remove the cinnamon stick before pureeing, of course) Also, we didn't have any ginger root, but did have some candied ginger pieces. We cut up 2 (1/2 inch X 1 inch) pieces of that, and sauted that in with the onion and garlic. Delicious. I have added, in previous makings of this soup, a dash of pumpkin pie spice, too. Very tasty.
Delicious and easy

This is the second year I've been making this soup. It's so easy to make and tastes just great! The only thing missing is the oven temperature. I preheated my oven to 400 degrees and it works just fine.

Followed the recipe through puree, then returned the pot to the burner, added about a tablespoon of honey and a 1/4 cup of cream. Topped with a pinch of fresh ground nutmeg. Did not add water or use sour cream. My family loved it.

The first time I made this soup was for a small dinner party - it was such a hit!! I grated fresh nutmeg on top as well before serving. I am going to make it for Thanksgiving this year and I know it will become a tradition!!
Good, but needed help!

User: Andrea from Leesburg, VA User Rating:
I thought this soup was good but lacked flavor. I added a sprig or rosemary to the broth while it simmered, and removed it before adding the squash. I used butternut squash and acorn squash and tripled all the ingredients. As it was written it made very little soup especially since it needs NO water. In addition to the rosemary, I added a little maple syrup, brown sugar and FRESH nutmeg. It's delicious with the changes and I would definitely make it again.
best soup ever!

Thanks for a wonderful recipe Sara! Friends and family always give me butternut squash and I never know what to do with it. It is no longer an Autumn decoration! I added a good amount of garlic and two carrots to spice it up a bit. Served with a crusty French bread and a nice chardonnay! Absolutely perfect!!!
Great Fall Soup.

I added a little cream and fresh sage, and garnished it with fresh chopped bacon. It was so good I made it again today and used roasted apples as the garnish. A meal in itself with some good bread for dipping!!! Thank You!!

Unlike most butternut squash recipes I have seen, this one does not focus on the sweet side of the squash, but lets it's flavors emerge with a wonderful background of onion and ginger. A unique soup that maintains the creamy, homey feel one often desires in such a soup.

I was hoping to duplicate a yummy butternut squash soup I had at a restaurant that was wonderful.. this one tasted to me like chicken soup.. but orange. I thought the chicken broth/stock overpowered the squash taste. I will keep looking!!

I just made this tonight and loved it. It came out delicious. The only alteration I made to the recipe was adding 2 cloves of garlic, as suggested by other reviewers. I didn't add much water either because I like the soup thick. This is a great fall soup.

This soup was to die for! Instead of buying the full butternut squash I bought it pre cut from Trader Joes (2 bags microwaved for only 5 min.) I also added 1/4 cup cream. yum. Oh and also doubled the onions. I;m sure it will be better as leftovers.
yummy for the tummy

I love the butternut squash soup they serve at Einstein's Bagels, and was looking for a version similar to what they serve, to hopefully re-create that yummy soup. After a mad dash to the grocery store for the required ingreadients, I made this soup tonight. I had to tweak the recipe a little to get more of a "rounder" flavor. I used 1 tsp. ground ginger instead of fresh. I used canned chicken broth, but added a few sprinkles of chicken broth granules to give it a hardier flavor. The soup tasted too flat without the chicken boulion granules. I also wanted a creamier texture, and added fat-free half and half to taste when processing the soup in the blender. This produced a rounder, cramy, "bisque-like" soup. After re-heated the processed soup, it was still missing some "bang." I remembered the Einstein's soup had a sweeter taste, so I added 2 tsp. sugar to the re-heated soup, and this definitely rounded out the flavor even more. Do not skip the sour cream as a garnish in the end. It gives the soup a yummy "kick", and wouldn't be the same without it. With all the modifications, my soup now tasted very close to the Einstein's soup. I think if I had made this recipe without the Einstein's soup to compare to, I would have rated this much higher. It was definitely a yummy soup, but needed some modifications to produce a more rounded soup with hardier flavor. I found it too mild without the modifications for my taste.
GREAT SOUP!!!!!!!!!!

I had some butternut squash sitting around the house one day and since I absolutely love roasted butternut squash, I decided to try a new recipe. I found this one and I must say it is SUPERB! I found that it needed more ginger. It is a perfect light dinner/lunch and you can use vegetable broth in place of the chicken broth without any loss in flavor. EXCELLENT RECIPE!

Bake at what temp? I've had success with 375 (if you have time; otherwise 425 roasts the vegetable more quickly). Other than the lack of baking directions, this is suprisingly easy, and tastes fantastic. I avoid the sour cream garnish. It is not required and the soup is fantastic by itself.
Great (and simple) recipe

This was a great bisque that we served as a dinner party stater. We added cream, though, as several others did and that imrpoved the texture of the bisque. We also added a couple of dashes of cayenne pepper for extra flavor. It went over so well, people asked for seconds and there was not a drop left.
