Delicious! Of course, you have to like curry, or don't bother. Also, all curries do not have the same level of heat, so it helps to know which one you have to match your taste. As to the reviewers who stated there is not enough liquid to cover, there shouldn't be. The vegetables give off a lot of their own liquid once heated, which is plenty. Add too much liquid in the beginning and you will have a thin soup.

Wow, all those five star ratings really misleading....and the recipe sounded so good. But no one in my family liked this at all, the apple / apple cider gave it an almost sour taste. Tried to fix by adding a little sugar but it really was not good at all.

Wonderful soup! I made it exactly to the recipe, it came out great, and it was a big hit.

this was a decent recipe, however, i agree with another reviewer (from Nov. 7, 2011 posting in that i had to use more water (4 cups instead of 2 to cook the 5 lbs of squash. With just 2 cups of water, I had well more than half the height of the squash/apple/onions above the water-line in my LeCreuset big stew pot. also, I found that the recipe's quantity for curry is a bit much. I used old curry seasoning I had (so it was not very strong and only had about 1-2Tbsp...and in the end, I find the soup have plenty of curry flavor as is.
I used 3 apples, as that's all I had, and I didn't find the need to add cider to sweeten up the soup. The amount of onions in there keeps it sweet enough for our tastes.
One point to keep in mind is that from doing my "butternut squash" google research, the smaller size you can find, the sweeter they tend to be. The flesh is often bright orange in color, and sweet.

Not my favorite butternut squash soup recipe (and I have many, but I wanted to try something new. I followed the recipe exactly because I always like to try it as written the first time. If I decide to make it again I will roast the squash first for two reasons - easier to just scoop out the squash and avoid having to peel it (it's a pain!, and also for more depth of flavor. I had my husband taste it and he liked it. I will try it on some ladies at bible study this afternoon.

I am not sure why this has so many good reviews. I found the recipe misleading... first there was no way the liquid was enough to even cover the 5lbs of cubed squash and apples... I had to add a lot of chicken stock. I didn't end up using cider per the other reviews... it was too sweet. The curry even though it was mild was too overpowering. I ended up with curry flavored very thick butternut puree... Sorry Ina this one was disappointing.

One of the best soups I've ever made. It is on the sweet side, but I love that. You could knock down some cider and add stock/broth instead. The curry taste is so subtle, but awesome. I served it with a drizzle of heavy cream to balance it a bit and it was outrageous.

Very delicious! I added a squeeze of lime juice over the apples before cooking. Beautiful burst of sweet and spicy with the apple chunks and curried onion inside a smooth butternut squash. Wow!

This is a wonderful soup! I loved the sweet and spice contrast - Yum! It freezes so well, you will be surprised. Also, for anyone watching their diet...it only has 3 Weight Watchers' points for a cup. What a winner!

This is the first time I ever made Butternut Squash Soup and found it to be absolutely delicious.
Was a little spicy and next time will add a little less pepper, but other than that it was perfect.
