    Spectacular !

    Reduced broth to 4 cups. Most difficult part was peeling the squash. Great, easy, healthy soup.

    Just average

    Very simple to make, but I much prefer the more intense flavor of roasting the butternut squash. This was velvety smooth and... might make a great baby food, but the flavors were way too bland for me, even with extra added salt.Read more

    Oh My... What a Soup!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I have not tried butternut squash before, but I had just bought an immersion blender and thought...Hmmmm now what. So off to... the store I went and came home with a butternut squash. This soup turned out absolutely wonderful and as smooth as silk. I did take the recommendations of a few reviewers and only used 4 cups of chicken stock, added a Granny-Smith apple, a bit of cinnamon, heavy cream and a dash of cayenne pepper. This recipe is extremely easy to make and I'd have to say I felt little like Julia Child that evening. : ) Bon Appetit Read more

    The Lazy Version

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    As a full-time working mother of two, I am always looking for an easier way. When I read this recipe and the problems noted... about spending time roasting the squash, I decided to avoid that problem. I bought frozen diced butternut squash (not puree'd). I added that instead of the roasted stuff, and used a stick blender at the end. I cut down on the broth to 4 cups since the frozen squash has additional water content. The way I make it is still an AWESOME soup and easy to do with little planning as long as you have a bag of frozen squash in the freezer. Love that!Read more

    Great on a cool day!

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    Made this by roasting the squash, onion and a granny smith apple. Only used 4 cups of chicken broth, but will use vegetable... broth next time. Felt like it was missing something so I added a little bit of maple syrup and a touch of brown sugar. Finished it off with 1/3 cup of half and half and some fresh ground cinnamon. Thanks for all he reviews i used a little from everyone.. Its a great soupRead more

    We made this soup tonight and really enjoyed it. I followed the recipe exactly except that I took another reviewers... suggestion and added a little saffron and only 4 cups of chicken broth. Really simply delicious.Read more
