     Great flavor. I actually sweated the onions with some whole garlic cloves before adding the other ingrediants and then I put a tablespoon of non-fat plain yogurt into the bowl of soup. Even my "taste-challenged BF" liked this dish. Great for cold winter nights. - 11/15/08

     Very good! The only thing I do differently is that I roast the squash, apples and onions at 425 for 45 minutes and then pour into the stock. - 10/1/10

     I also added carrots and celery. I was being lazy to I used a 12 oz. boxed of frozen pre-cooked butternut squash, which worked great. - 4/28/10

     This is a great recipe! Delicious soup & I also use it over meat or vegetables.....definately healthier than gravies or sauces. Good way to get extra veggies in your meals. This is a keeper for sure! - 10/5/08

    I hadn't thought of using it as a sauce and you are so right, it would be good for veggies. I wonder about putting it on pasta....I may try that this week. Thanks for the tip.

     I haven't made this recipe, but was wondering why it's called ROASTED Butternut Squash Soup...nothing was roasted.

    Doesn't mean I won't try it...just wondering. - 10/20/10

     OK as is, but requires additional spices! I added ground cloves with much success. A little splenda perks it up too. - 10/22/08

     Just made this for supper...easy and delicious. I swirled a tablespoon of softened lt.cream cheeses in it and a sprinkle of walnuts before serving... It's a keeper for sure! - 10/19/08

    I like your idea of swirling the cheese and adding a few walnuts, that gives it a nice presentation. Thanks for trying my recipe.

     Just made this and thought it was ok. I roasted the squash, onion and a bit of garlic first then added the remaining ingredients. I also added 1/2 cup of coconut milk to the batch shorthly before serving. I still felt it could use a bit more flavor/spice! - 5/14/11

     Well didn't have Vegetable broth so I used Chicken Boullion instead then I didn't have to use any salt..didn't have an apple so I used a can of applesauce which made it thicker..no nutmeg so used a pinch of cinnamon..added a little light sour cream on top when I served it ..yummy! - 1/31/10
  • JENNYJ5
     I made a similar recipe that used apple juice instead of the apple, 2/3c evaporated milk, added celery and a potato. I also added bay leaves, 1 garlic clove, and thyme. I didn't have to add any salt. This was awesome!! I just made my second batch!! - 1/5/09

     Mmmm, very tasty! I tried it with cream cheese, and it definitely added some flavor. Thanks for the great recipe! - 11/6/08

     I did add celery and garlic and everyone liked it for Thanksgiving! And almost no calories--compared to many of the other foods we had! - 11/26/15
  • JAZZYMOM53
     I too roasted the apple, squash and onion for the 45 minutes. I also added carrots and celery, that I cooked in Chicken Stock not the vegetable stock. The whole family loved it! I will definitely make this soup again!!! - 1/7/14

  • LEANIE64

     SO low in calories--love it - 10/22/12

     Boring. No flavor. I even used chicken broth instead of veg broth. I tried adding Red Hot, or Worchestershire sauce for better flavor. The only thing that made it taste good was cheese, which defeats the purpose of healthy soup. Not making this again. - 11/27/11
  • CD7700731
     I've roasted all veggies, added roasted shallots, and used pumpkin pie spice. :) - 11/12/11

     Just made this, and it's a keeper! I also did roast the squash before simmering with the other ingredients. Yummy! - 10/23/11
  • ANGEL1066
     tasty and simple, lo-cal, too! sometimes I vary the spices, or use chicken broth - 10/9/11
  • HOPEFULANGE
     Yummy, but could use more spices. I also added more water as it was very lumpy when I was finished. Will make this again! - 4/5/11

     Didn't quite taste like the soup I'd had before & really liked, but it was good. Made a double batch & will freeze half for later. Love having soup to pull out on a cold winter day! - 2/5/11
  • KIMBERLIEV
     I didn't have the apple, baked the squash first, and served it with a bowl of cheddar cheese for those who wanted it a little cheesy. Fresh homemade bread and salad on the side and this was amazing! - 1/1/11
