This is a very good soup - my wife wants it in the rotation. Very easy to prep and takes a little time manipulation well (I... hate to blend hot liquids so this sat to cool before and after blending). I woudln;t have thougth of carrots i nthis but there is a sweetness added. Very nice!Read more

After I pureed this soup, it was still a little thin. I put it back on the stove and reduced it down for about 30 minutes... and added some nutmeg. I also served it with homemade croutons on top. Can;t wait to make it again. Read more

Wonderful and easy recipe. I loved how easy this soup was to make, especially when I roasted the squash in the oven first. I... did add a bit of ginger to the mix, which gave it a little more sweetness. I would highly recommend this recipe!Read more
