    This soup is creamy, velvety, and absolutely yummy! For texture, I have served mine with roasted pumpkin seeds, peanuts, tortilla chips, or the roasted seeds of the butternut squash!

    I had some cut up butternut squash and in 5 minutes I had the soup on then ate it in 20 . The curry adds a wonderful flavor. A great weight watchers idea also.

    Love this recipe! The curry gives this lovely soup a little kick. Even my husband, who hates all vegetables, thought this soup was great!

    I never considered myself a fan of squash, but wow has this soup changed that. Incredibly good especially considering how simple it is. I did take several other readers suggestion and use only 4 cups of broth rather than 6 and it came out with a perfect texture and consistency. Thanks Ellie!

    I have been making this exact recipe for years with pumpkin puree instead of the squash for thanksgiving and holiday dinners [minus the honey and with about 1/2 cup coconut milk] - it is a big hit with family and friends, even the ones that dont typically like curry. Adding the coconut milk definetly adds another layer of flavor but will add a few calories.

    The flavor of this soup is VERY good; however, I thought the 6 cups of broth made the soup way to thin and diluted the flavor. It was so thin that the yogurt for garnish sunk to the bottom of the bowl. I followed the recipe to a "T". This is a recipe I would make again, but I would only use about 4 cups if chicken broth. The flavor was awesome!

    My whole family (even my "totally against anything healthy" husband really loved this. I work in a nice restaurant that often serves a delicious squash soup, and I was wondering how close this would come. I thought it was really close even without any cream! If you want it even more full or darker tasting a tiny bit of paprika or molasses adds just a bit more depth.

    I am glad to hear it freezes well. Once the squash are peeled it is so easy so I plan to make big batches.

    I loved the yogurt on top.

    Ellie, you are the best! I am so glad there is someone using organic items in their cooking on t.v.! Keep up the great work.

    I love butternut squash, but really have a strong distaste for curry. So, i thought it would be nice if i omitted the curry and replaced it with 1 tsp nutmeg and 1 1/2 teaspoons coriander. The balance of the two was really great. I definitely couldn't taste the honey, maybe i could have put another tbsp in. When i pureed the first half in my blender, it came out really watery, so i strained what was left in the pot and added the boiled squash and onion without the broth into the already pureed mixture and the texture was much better. Next time i would reduce the amount of liquid by at least 2 cups. After tasting the soup, it was missing a ton of salt. I added a bunch and it was still missing something, so i added butter and a sprinkle of parsely, and it tasted much better. The yogurt on top was great and made the soup luxurious, if you will.
