After I read everyone's comments, I decided to use chicken stock instead of water, and leave out the apple juice altogether. It was absolutely perfect. Delicious.

I definetely enjoyed the soup the first few days I had it, but it did not reheat, after freezing, very well at all. Tips on good soups to freeze?

loved the texture and spicyness. We did not use mild curry. We used curry powder that we mix our selves. (Much better than prepared in the spice isle.
Did not add the cider. Just water.

This was such a healthy and yummy soup - very easy to make and very creamy and dense. I used 1 cup of organic apple juice and 1 cup of org chicken broth in lieu of 2 cups of cider. Also added garlic to the onions because I love garlic in everything! Was filling and comforting for a cold winter's night!

Made this for the first time tonight... yummy!! I did roast the squash in the oven first, used sweet curry and added 1/2 cup cream at the end. Great to serve as a main dish or a nice beginning. This one goes in the "keeper" book!!

I love squash AND Ina Garten, so of course I had to try this. I liked it the first time I made it (following Ina's instructions to a T, but like many felt it was too sweet for my personal taste. As several here suggested, I substituted chicken stock for one cup of the cider and used a tarter apple the second time. Now it's TOTALLY perfect.

Second time around, I also substituted frozen squash for fresh. There was no discernible difference to me and it removed the task of peeling and cutting up the squash. The curry powder adds such a great flavor, either way the squash has a lot of depth. Don't skip the curry powder or stint on the onions! This is VERY easy to make (esp. with frozen squash. I used an immersion blender, having cooked the vegetables in my 7 qt. Chantal Dutch oven.

I served it with warmed broccoli cheddar bread. My family loved it. And first in line for seconds was my mother, who claims to hate anything curry (I didn't tell her!. This is elegant enough for a dinner party, but hearty for a cold winter day. As usual, I bow to the Contessa.

The best soup I've had in a long time. Very easy to puree with an immersion blender!

I loved this soup and so did my friends, very tasty, not too much fat and the banana added a nice flavor, complementing the soup.

This is not a recipe we will make again. The apple flavor overwhelmed the flavor of the squash. This is the first Barefoot Contessa recipe I've made that I didn't love.

This soup is absolutely divine. Super easy to make - buy the squash precut (since that is really the hardest part and it will take less than 30 minutes to make. It is delicious and warm on a cold fall or winter day. Yummy yummy!!!!!
