    I decided to roast the butternut with fresh thyme before adding to the stock. Gives it an awesome flavor!
    This is one of my favourite soups! - 10/31/10

    I made this for dinner tonight, and the basic recipe is good but I felt like it needed more flavor. I added cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice and just a pinch of sugar substitute. - 10/17/10

    I thought I would have to add more spices, but I carmelized the onion first in a tablespoon of olive oil and that gave the soup enough savory flavor that it was just perfect.
    Also, I used only 4 cups of chicken broth and 2 cups of water.
    Super easy and tasty! - 11/3/12

    This is a great basic recipe. I like a bit more spice so I added some allspice and roated the squash orior to making the soup. It is all good! - 10/16/12

    This was really good.I added a dash cinnamon and red pepper about 2 TBS pumpkin, about 1/8 cup veg stock and about 1/2 cup chicken broth (low sodium and fat free) Since I had left over butternut squash I served as a side one night at dinner I used it and just mashed with a fork.Very creamy & good. - 11/12/11

    This is the same recipe I've used for years, but I use 4 cups of stock, makes a thicker soup.I have used acorn squash also, because we grow them in our garden. I use about 4 large acorn squash baked it is just as good. It's the best on a cold snowey night, a great comfort food. - 1/10/11

    This was wonderful. I had it for dinner and then I froze the rest for later. I didn't change anything. Although I don't know if I had the right amount of squash because the two I had were on the small side. The soup was creamy and tasty. YUMMY and I will make again. - 3/17/10

    This is a great recipe, but I adjusted it a bit. I added more squash to make it the thickness I desire, more like a bisque, probably about 3 or 4 cups more and only 5 cups of chicken stock. I also added cinnamon as well as a little balsamic vinegar. Nutrition label of course with be a little off.. - 11/18/07
