  I noticed that everyone is commenting about calores. I don't think that it's too bad. You could make a meal of it by adding a garden salad with low cal dressing, and you'd have a meal for less than 500 cals. I usually aim for less than 500 calories. I'm always looking for new ways to make squash - 5/29/08

  What about substituting the flour with corn starch? This should lower the carbs. Reminds me of the acorn soup my lil gramma used to make. - 2/17/09

  Fat free shredded cheddar won't hurt the taste, but will cut the calories. But people really should lay off the author for their calorie content...so people need/eat more calories. If you like less cals like me, modify the recipe, you know how by now, I'd hope.. - 5/29/08

  I made a similar squash soup but without the cheese and cream. I also added onion, and a pinch of nutmeg. It's delicious. - 5/29/08

  Serving size sounds like a big bowl so I don't think the cal are out of line. Perhaps cutting cheese in half and adding something like ginger or dash of hot pepper sauce for kick. - 5/29/08

  Using unsalted butter might help reduce the sodium in this recipe. But if I made this recipe, I would substitute OLIVE OIL to butter anyway. - 5/29/08

  bothers me no instruction for cooking squash...roast in the oven 30 minutes at 400 degrees? Only a guess...only adds about 30 - 40 minutes of cook time for preparing. - 12/8/09

  Thank you. I do a stewed squash that is similar. I like the adding of cheese & 1/2 & 1/2 for extra flavor.
  Will be making tonight :) - 6/6/09

  A lot of calories. No flour, Use Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheddar... 45 calories. per 1/4 cup Like the idea but not the way it is made. - 6/6/09

  Want to put this together in an easier manner? Melt butter as directed. Mix flour with 1/4 cup of the half & half. Add it and remainder of liquid to butter. When it's hot, add the squash. Low boil about 1 minute. Remove from heat, stir in cheese. Could replace 1/3 - 1/2 liquid w/ chicken stock. - 4/17/09

  Really enjoyed this soup. Used Skim Evaporated Milk instead of FF Half & Half, and it tasted great. Will definitely add this one into the rotation. Thanks for sharing! - 3/10/09

  This sounds like a good recipe to try. If you didn't want so much fat, perhaps you could use lower fat ingredients. But I think it sounds pretty good myself. - 2/17/09

  I made this recipe and with a little alteration was a wonderful replacement for potatoes on our dinner plates. I added onion and a little bit of carrots and of course garlic. Then I used my hand blender and left out the flour. - 6/3/08

  I'm not a big fan of winter squash, but I'm going to try it with yellow crookneck squash, which we have an abundance of here in the South. - 5/29/08

  Don't mind the calories, but the sodium is really high. - 5/29/08

  The sodium content is high for this dish but if you if you get a reduced fat half & half and 2% or reduced fat cheese, the sodium may get better. - 5/29/08

  I didn't make this yet, but it seems like something that would be good. I wouldnt cut the calories more then they already are because it may loose the good flavor. You already use 2% cheese and fat free half and half. Maybe just have half a serving as a treat! - 5/29/08

  I'm sure there must be some low-cal shredded cheddar cheese out there. This sounds good. I'm going to add it to my recipe box. - 5/29/08

  would think that is the cheese thats responsible for the high calorie count. I love squash soup,so may try it without the cheese, just wont be as thick. - 5/29/08

  I like the sound of this yet the calorie content is high. I think I'd try to cut some of the calorie somehow. Any ideas anyone? - 5/29/08
