  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 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.

  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

  Also microwaved the acorn squash. At first, I was skeptical and thought there wouldn't be enough flavor for my liking. I added some cajun seasoning, chili powder, and garlic. Turned out awesome! Would definitely make this again. - 10/28/13

  Yummy! I made this with vegetable broth and used part-skim mozzarella. I'm going to use cheddar next time for the flavor.

  WOW. Absolutely incredible. I love how fresh all of the ingredients are and that it's low calorie AND low carb. I used a hand mixer instead of a blender (less mess) and cooked the squash in the microwave like others suggested. So great thank you!! - 2/26/12

  As predicted, this soup is on the sweet side. I seasoned with lemon pepper and Spike, and added nutritional yeast (left out the cheese). Next time I'll bake the squash first; but for this 1st try, I wanted the whole experience of making this soup! - 11/29/11

  WOW!! Quite a surprise. I always make homemade cream of broccoli soup for the holidays, and my family is very upset that I will NOT be making it this year. I tried a 1/2 batch last night, testing several of the suggestions. No cheese, plus sour cream, and add basil. It passed Thanksgiving dinner - 11/18/11

  I loved this! Made it not quite with exact measurements, and added curry, my favorite. I cooked all but the broccoli for 10 minutes and pureed that. Then added the broccoli I had chopped small and cooked it through. I like soup with some texture so I didn't puree the broccoli at all. Fantastic! - 9/25/11

  Fabulous! Can't believe how thick and creamy it is without milk or cream! I had to use up veggies so I added a ton of celery and carrots. Nuked the squash first and added 4 whole garlic cloves. Adding cinnamon really did it for me! - 3/19/11

  This soup is flavourful and easy to make. I added a tbsp of curry powder, and swapped the grated cheese for 1/4 cup lowfat sour cream and 1/4 cup parmesan. Fabulous! - 1/17/11

  I did what most people did and roasted the squash first. I also sauteed the onion and garlic before adding the broth and veggies. At the end, after adding the cheese, I decided it needed a little something so I added a tablespoon of mustard. Delish! I will be making this again! - 1/16/11

  This was so good! I cooked both the squash and broccoli ahead of time and then pureed them and added to the pot because I make a huge mess if I do it otherwise. Added some leftover baked chicken...very satifying meal! - 12/27/10

  Delicious! As I was making it, I was beginning to wonder by the looks of it, if I would like it, but it really surprised me! I didn't have garlic cloves, so I added garlic salt to suit my taste, and it's great. Love the recipe and the healthy ingredients! Will make it again! - 11/13/10

  I just made this for lunch today and it is amazing! I had a bit of a hard time with peeling it, but it was worth the work. Didn't have cheese on hand, so I subbed sour cream. Definitely a keeper!! - 10/23/10

  I think this will become a fall staple for me. I'll take the advice about microwaving the squash first next time, though. Not as creamy as I expected so I added some milk. Love the flavor though! - 10/6/10
