    What a great way to use this butternut squash! Yum! I would not add the squash until 30 minutes before you take the soup off of the heat. I gave it 45 minutes (taking a clue from the reviews and the squash was mush. I added cabbage and turnip greens at the same time as the broth. Greens (kale, turnip, swiss chard will hold up so well for long cooking times, and this soup is a great way to use them! The cabbage was perfect and a great addition to this soup. I added a T of red pepper flakes to make it spicy! A dash or two of Worcestershire sauce is not a terrible idea though I am not sure that it made all that much of a difference. I served with an herb asiago bread, and it was oh so tasty!

    Amazing! This is a great fall stew! I love the butternut squash flavor. I used fresh rosemary, but I used dried Thyme. I also used whatever red wine I had on hand, and the flavor of the stew was wonderful, very rich and yummy!

    This is a fabulous dish. I changed the original recipe a bit- chopped and fried 3 slices of bacon first, added a little olive oil then browned the meat. Added mushrooms, and baked in the oven for about 3 hours. Totally marvelous!

    I loved this stew! I mean, I really loved it. I sort of used the recipe as more of a guideline instead of truly following it...I didn't use any tomatoes, used coconut flour instead of wheat, eyeballed the herbs, vegan broth instead of beef and whatever wine I had (think it was sweet red. Anyway it came out delicious and was so easy.

    Giada - delicious! Loved it. Now I have a good recipe to use for the Italian heirloom winter squash I'm growing.I also was able to use those wonderful fresh herbs and tomatoes I dried from my garden. My family was not excited when I said we were having stew, but this is somewhere between a stew and soup and my family loved it. I did tweek it slightly for our taste. Added worschestershire sauce as suggested in another review, and thickened slightly with cornstarch.
    Thank you!

    Oh my! A GREAT Recipe! I tweaked it a bit....a bit of ground chipolti, onion & garlic powder, a dash or two of hot sauce and some worchester sauce.....gave it a bit more zing..... I would add a few more veggies next time...but a Great starting point! Added to my recipe box!

    This has become my favorite Winter comfort food. I usually follow the recipe to the letter. However, one variation was to substitute spaghetti squash for the butternut. The squash separates into strands and the texture is similar to that of pasta in the stew—hence the name but with all the signature squash flavor. YUM!

    Giada, you rock as always.

    Made according to recipe many times and it is absolutely wonderful. One of my co-workers had an abundance of yellow crook neck squash so I made a batch up with that as well--just as good if not better.
    Thank you for the great recipe!
