    This soup is delicious all by itself. I didn't make the paneer; just a little dab of feta or sour cream was perfect. I grated my ginger (thanks for the tip, lilak18_11276916 and used an extra clove of garlic... and got to use my new stick blender! My girlfriend was most impressed, and loves me even more - thanks Emeril!

    This was just what I was hoping for. I wanted something very slightly sweet, creamy, and filling for a cold night. And I needed to get rid of a squash. I didn't have the time to make my own paneer, so I tried throwing a handful of feta in which made the soup more savory. Even though my husband was all stuffed up from a cold, he still thought it had a great flavor with just a hint of a kick.

    The best butternut squash soup I have ever had! However I do like my soup a little chunky and because the ginger is such a tough food the soup has to be blended all the way until it it super smooth, so next time I may grate the ginger so i can leave the soup a little chunky. YUM.

    Excellent, just a little too much curry. I cut it to 2 teaspoons and it was perfect for me.

    This soup was absolutely amazing. I didn't make the crouton, but the soup stands up just fine without it. My boyfriend contends it's the single best soup I have ever made. I have tried a few other squash soup recipes and this is by far the best!

    I made this soup for a holiday dinner party I had for my friends. They LOVED it and said it was the best soup they had ever tasted! YAY! It was amazing to say the least. I didnt use the paneer croutons but instead used an apricot cheese, and I used yellow curry powder. I made a huge double batch and kept it warm in the crockpot. This ones a keeper! YUM YUM YUM

    Our New Year's Eve party was a progressive dinner this year and I did the soup course with this soup. It was a big hit! I made rosemary croutons instead of the grilled cheese and then let guests sprinkle grated parmesan. Also substituted dry ginger for the fresh grated and it was no problem. This is now the second time I have made this and it is great. I love that it is low calorie, thick, rich and very satisfying on a cold day! Be sure and use the parchment paper when you cook so that clean up is easy.

    I only made the soup, and served it with grilled cheese sandwiches. The soup is fantastic. I'm a big fan of ginger, and it's nice to see a recipe that isn't afraid to use it. Note that if you taste the soup prior to adding the cream, the ginger may be overwhelming, but the cream significantly reduces it's punch.

    Next time, I would use plain vegetable oil for sauteing. Or maybe bacon fat; bacon would be a nice garnish for this anyway. The olive oil taste isn't at all bad; it just seems a little out of place here.
