    According to the Calories per Ingredient, the required amount of butternut squash is 1/3 of a cup, cubed, per serving. So a butternut squash that yields 2 cups cubed is the right size for this recipe. HTH. - 10/6/10

    Using low sodium/no added salt tomatoes will also help lower the sodium level. Using low salt veg broth and substituting more spices (salt free) can help. The beans are being drained and rinsed already, and using low sodium/no added salt beans & draining & rinsing, or using dried beans can help. - 10/24/10

    This is on the menu this week - it is so good!
    I change the spice profile to kick it up a notch:
    add a diced jalapeno, use fire roasted tomatoes, ancho chili powder, cumin, curry and garam masala! - 11/1/10

    Awesome. After Sauteeing the veggies, I added remainder of ingredients minus the black beans. Once the squash was softened, I took out half of the squash and put it in blender. I added it back to soup and added the beans. For a spicier version, choose tomatoes with chilis. It was delicious. - 10/25/10

    We tried this for our Sunday night supper. I cooked it all day in the crockpot. Found it a bit thin - I would use 3 cups instead of 4 cups of broth next time. It made a really big batch. I'd say I have at least 10 servings. - 10/31/10

    Yummy yummy! I blended the squash with the vegetable broth, and it lent a nice sweetness while adding some thickness. The portions are huge! - 10/28/10

    I did not have black beans so I used 2 cans of chili beans w/sauce. I cooked this in my crock pot all day and added 1 can of tomato paste bcs it was very runny (and I only added about 2 cans of water, I did not add veg broth). I srvd this over baked potatoes. I LOVED it, will make again! Very tasty! - 11/15/10

    I liked it and would make again. My housemate isn't as fond of black beans as I am, and thought it was a little bland. It took about 1/2 a butternut squash. Thanks everybody for the tips, since the recipe was a little vague on quantity. - 10/27/10

    I used the recipe as a basis for inspiration and wound up with black bean chicken chili soup. Working with what I had on hand,I added diced potatoes instead of squash, diced carrots and celery,chicken, adobo spice, onions and black beans, in a low sodium broth and canned tomatoes. Delicious! - 10/12/10

    The sodium, I imagine is all coming from the vegetable broth and the black beans. To reduce it look for low sodium of each, or make your own so you control the salt! - 10/6/10

    My family loved this (2 & 4-year-olds). I would take this over regular chili any day. I only made a couple substitutions - didn't have any fresh garlic, so I used garlic powder, and I only had regular paprika so that's what I used. I left mine simmer for about 1 -1/2 hours. Will make again! - 2/6/13

    Thanks--I can't wait to try this. I think I will roast the squash beforehand to give it more flavor. I will also use kabocha squash instead of butternut because I think it has a deeper flavor that will go nicely with my CSA black beans! :) - 1/16/13

    Good, but I added salt and pepper to enhance the taste. And I put organic shredded cheddar cheese on top. - 11/30/11
