    Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect. The right spice, heat and texture. A tad thicker than I like it, so I might lighten it with a bit more chicken stock next time. Thanks Emeril!

    We loved this soup. I added cumin seeds to the onions (like one would for a good curry as well as the ground. A pinch of saffron was added to the homemade chicken stock for both color and flavor. Instead of the shrimp garnish, I made a mix of finely minced raw jalapenos, fresh cilantro, and shallots and leftover roast pork. YUMMMMMMMM...... My grandmother would have been proud of what I put in her lovely soup dishes.

    This soup is delicious. I didn't even think I liked butternut squash soup until I tried this recipe.

    This is a very easy soup to make and so tasty. I did add curry powder and a tad of garlic salt. Otherwise very good!

    It was yummy and easy. I love the spice. I think 'regular' butternut squash soup would be boring. I didn't use cream. And I only had beef broth on hand, and it worked fine. For those of you with a nearby Costco - I bought a 2lb. package of squash already cubed! Don't know if I'd like this recipe as much if I had to do all that chopping. And the transfer from the pot to the blender in batches, was a mess, but still worth it. I'll serve this at holiday dinners and/or dinner parties.

    So, I was short this or that (no jalapeno, used chili powder, no carrot so added a carnival squash for the sweetness, etc. But, this recipe is so good it's hard to mess it up with just a tweak here or there. Definitely one I will save for later! I roasted my squash because I had 6 lbs and my MIL was using the kitchen to make jam and ever the people pleaser I wanted to leave her the pots and the stove. I also have to use a mini 4 cup processor so I blended my squash and stock in 5 increments, combined the rest of the ingredients in a pot, stirred well, doubled the stock (4 cups per the recipe, 12 total for my huge batch!, used milk instead of cream, and then blended the whole pot again in 8 increments this time. Mess? Yes! Tedious? Yes! A LOT of work? Yes!! But good? OH YES!! Love the soup. Will re-warm for lunch today, add a bit more stock for a thinner consistency, and freeze in meal-size batches for weeks to come. Can't wait!! Next time though, I make this in MY kitchen with my stick blender!! Will surely roast the squash again too and use a carnival in place of carrots. Maybe some pears too? Happy souping!!

    So easy and so delicious! Definitely a keeper. I went with everyone else and used 3 cups of (vegetable broth instead of 2, sauted my onion and garlic in 1 T of EVOO instead of 2 T of peanut oil, and left out the cream. The result was a low-calorie, healthy, vegan soup that really satisfied. Thanks Emeril!

    I also used 3 cups of stock, didn't have any cumin, but that didn't matter. I added 1 jalapeno and it really gave it a kick.
    I threw in just a little extra cream (because I could.
    This soup was super good and I will definitely be making it again.

    This is a delicious simple recipe. If you like butternut squash soup you'll love this one! I took the advice of others and used 3 cups stock. Otherwise no changes were necessary...will definitely make this again!

    Made this for Easter dinner and everyone was blown away by it! I tasted it before I added the cream, and it was delicious just like that too...in the future, I'm going to make it without the cream as a healthy and delicious soup!
