    OMG, this was one of the best soups I have ever had. My suggestion is to make is a day in advance and let sit. This seems to thicken up the soup. I cut the croutons into chunks and added them to the soup in place of using the croutons to dip. Great receipt!!!

    This recipe is perfect! I followed the recommendation of dense pumpkins and good chicken stocks turned out delicious. The parmesan toast also go so well. Thanks for your thorough recipe Jamie!

    This soup is the most flavorful, soothing and perfect soup. It was the only food my dad ate the last 2weeks of his life. Pancreatic cancer and chemo had killed his appetite and taste buds. He actually could taste this soup and thouroghly enjoyed it.
    It's is comforting to know I was able to feed him something so fantastic the last days of his life. I will always think of dad when I make it. Thanks Jamie:

    Definately a keeper. I loved the fact that it had no dairy in it as well. If you decided you want a little dairy; can always do a swirl of diluted sour cream on top. For the croutons I take the easy/lazy way out; spread slices of bread on baking sheet, drizzle w/oil, sprinkle w/cheese and bake at 350* 10-15 mins til crusty. Don't need to turn them. Just tap on top to "hear" if it's crusty. (time them for 10 mins. then add more time as needed

    I made this soup for a week night family dinner. After one bite I understood that this simple soup would become my special guest dish. It is fabulous!

    I did not make the croutons yet, sorry to say, but I did swirl coconut cream over the top of each bowl which made quite an impression and tasted great,

    There is no greater sound at a dinner party then just sound of the spoon clinking on the soup bowl

    I made this soup for my fiance the other day and it will definitely be made again in this house! It was the best butternut squash soup I've ever made. A very earthy taste without the added fat of heavy cream. The parmesan croutons gave the dish that extra kick that completed it.

    This recipe is YUM! I made it for the first time, and I enjoyed every bite. I loved the crispy sage - it was great. I agree with the many comments that the toast is incredible. After cooking the sage you can just walk away and let it go! That's my kind of cooking! To avoid the mess - which is also my kind of cooking - I do really suggest using the immersion blender, although just mashing and eating thick would be great too! Will be adding this to my fall and winter recipe mix! Thanks, Jamie!
