     I was feeling lazy, so I pre-cooked the squash in the microwave (whole, just poke a few holes in the skin and nuke for 8-10 minutes) and used frozen broccoli. also, I was out of cheese, so I subbed a couple spoonfuls of onion dip. deeeeelicious! - 1/31/09

     I made this and it was easy to prepare. My husband and I both loved it and I would for sure make it again. I did bake my squash first, which is much easlier than peeling it. I served it with a spoon of sour cream on top. Yummy. Thanks for a really delicious recipe! - 10/21/07

     This was fantastic! I didn't peel the squash--just microwaved it until soft and then scooped out the flesh. While it was cooking, it did not look very appetizing at all, so I was skeptical. But it was delicious! - 9/22/10

     We LOVED this soup. I took the advice above and microwaved the squash first. I used much more broccoli than called for as I had alot that was about to go bad. Used about 4cups chicken broth and a bit of milk at the end. I omitted the cheese and it was still very good. Added lots of garlic too! - 3/24/10

     Five star! Will definitely make this again! Found it a little thick, so added 1 cup white wine while it simmered. And we like chunky, so I didn't puree it, just used the hand mixer on it. Delicious! - 2/7/10

     I didn't find that it was 8 servings of soup, more like 5 or 6. But it was extremely easy (except for the peeling of the sqash part) and really fast. I also added fresh parsley, because I happened to have some. It is deffinately something I would try again. - 2/21/10

     I made this chunky with less broth and more cheese. My husband who does not like anything "fake" was impressed at the first taste. GREAT! - 2/8/10

     This is a VERY good soup, but I was experimenting with acorn squash which I had never had, and was disappointed that I couldn't taste it at all because the broccoli overwhelmed it. But I absolutely love it cause i am a broccoli lover! - 1/9/10

     This is sooo good. I have never cooked acorn before so I didnt know what to expect but I make it all teh time now :) - 4/26/09

     This is really tasty. These ingredients just don't seem like they should go together, but they really work. It really does end up tasting like a nice cream of broccoli soup. Try, I bet you won't be disappointed! - 3/15/09

     I made this with broccoflower instead of broccoli which gave it a nice colour. I also used turkey stock (from the Christmas turkey!). It was delicious. - 1/6/09

     I think I added too much broth. Mine was not creamy at all. Plus it was a weird shade of green. Taste was ok though. - 11/9/07

     Wonderful flavor! Felt adventurous, so once the soup was pureed, added some coin-cut carrots (which I nuked before adding). Nice color and flavor.

     I like it chunky.added potato and celery, curry , dollop of sour cream and a little shredded cheese. - 3/24/17
  • SEANLOTZ
     Delicious. I used vegetable broth powder instead of chicken broth because I didn't plan ahead. Next time I will begin by sauteing the onions until quite brown. That will add extra flavor and make it even better. - 11/6/15
