    I absolutely hated this recipe. The onion made it completely inedible. Sorry, chef and sorry bank account.

    Fabulous!!! Unbelievably good. Since it hurts my hands to cut up the squash, I cut them in half and lay them face down in a pan of water and bake them until tender. Then I scoop out all the flesh and discard the seeds. Then I add the squash at the very last and let the whole thing simmer about 15 minutes. I usually just bake the squash the night before I make this recipe and store it in the fridge overnight. Also added a level tablespoon of curry and one of cardamom. I've made 6 batches of this in the last 2 months. Wonderful stuff.

    This is so simple to make and equally delicious and nutritious- without the cream. I substituted nonfat milk for the cream. It was fantastic!

    This recipe is so easy to make. I use a vegetable peeler to peel the squash if you can't find on that's already been halved and peeled. I made this for my family and friends and was able to convert my "butternut squash hating" friend into a lover of this soup. The pear is an excellent compliment to the squash. It's a lovely fall soup!!!

    I love this recipe! It is my go-to Butternut Squash Soup recipe. It's perfect just the way it is, but if you are looking to change it up: try garnishing it with candied pecans and blue cheese.

    Thoroughly enjoyed this fall favorite. I always like to modify a bit to make a recipe my own. Added 1 tables. of lemon infused olive oil to the butter to soften the onion and 2 stalks of chopped celery, Also added about half tsp. lemon zest and a bit of the fresh lemon juce. It was pretty thick so added about a cup of half and half. Topped with few roasted pine nuts and sprig of rosemary. We really enjoyed the hint of lemon with the pears and butternut. Yummy!
