    I used this recipe 2 years ago for Thanksgiving. When looking at the recipe, it seems like a lot of work. Firstly, it's not. All the ingredients just flow together! Secondly, IT'S WORTH THE WORK! Amazing! Went out of town last year for Thanksgiving, and I very much wished I hadn't, so I could make my own soup! So worth the time and effort.. I just kept it in a small crockpot and people kept going back for more hot soup!

    This has excellent flavor. I wasn't too sure about it at first because I'm not too big into squash, but I wanted to do an autumn soup and this was perfect. My only hesitation on making it again is that I thought the curry was a bit too much. As some other reviewers have commented, next time I will half the curry and I think that will do the trick!

    Have your veggies and enjoy them too. This is a phenomenal recipe. High fiber, High in Flavor and perfect for the cool crisp autumn days ahead. This recipe goes well with Ina's Chicken Salad Veronique on sourdough or rye. As usually double the spices...

    Super easy but it was time consuming peeling everything. I used 1 pumpkin & 1 butternut squash that weight 5 lbs together. It came out awesome!!!!! I had everything on hand & that's the best part of it!

    I decided to listen to some of the other reviews here and half the amount of curry used, but I couldn't taste it, I should've put the required amount in. The soup was still fantastic! My whole family loved it! It does make a ton so I put half in the freezer, hopefully it reheats nicely. Thanks Ina, another hit!!!

    I halfed the recipe but otherwise followed the directions completely. I would recommend halfing it because it made a very large quantity as it was. I used garam masala curry powder, 1 tablespoon, but this might as well be curry soup. It is terrible. I used the simple apple applie juice. I even added so cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar to tame the curry but it had no effect. I really like curry and had never made butternut squash soup before--and I still feel as though I haven't since the flavors of the other ingredients are masked.

    Also this takes far longer than 40 minutes to cook, if you read the recipe and add together the cook times it exceeds 40 minutes.

    Wow, peeling the butternut squash was tricky! And then cutting it, oh my gosh... but, I'm very pleased with how it tastes. I didn't add much apple cider to mine because I like the thicker consistency. I really enjoy the curry as well and might consider adding a little red pepper the next time I make it. I'm excited to share this soup with my friends because I have WAY MORE than I can eat myself. :

    It's a rainy, raw fall day, so I thought I'd make a nice soup. I had some butternut squash left over from my roasted veggies the other day, so I tried this. I halved the recipe, and used half pear, half apple instead of all apple. It cooked down nicely and I used a blender to puree it. I did add fresh Maine apple cider as directed but could have done with a little less than I added. The fruit taste was about 50/50 competing with the taste of the squash. Next time I'll add more curry powder also....that flavor was there, but weak for my taste. Overall, a very nice, easy to prepare, sure to please autumn soup!
