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!

I have never had butternut squash soup of any kind. Ina's recipe was out of this world. Thank goodness it's made up of all produce, because I ate half the pot! What a great recipe for fall/winter!

I love this soup! Easy to make, and you don't end up with lots of dishes in the end. I've also made Ina's Roasted Butternut Squash Soup from the Back to Basics book, which is awesome, but this one is less work and very yummy.
I sauteed carrots and celery w/ the onions, added squash and apples, then covered it with chicken broth, let it simmer, then used a hand blender in the soup pot which is easier than the food mill or food processor. I didn't use curry powder or apple cider, but instead added rosemary and after pureed, used some milk since I didn't have cream. YUM!

I loved this soup...this was very similar to a soup that was made at Wegmans. I like my "soup" to be thicker so the flexibility in having it thick or thin is fabulous! So easy to make! Great recipe!!! I will surely make this again. I halfed the recipe and used the 2# container of cut up butternut squash from Costco. Worked great!
