    According to the Calories per Ingredient, the required amount of butternut squash is 1/3 of a cup, cubed, per serving. So a butternut squash that yields 2 cups cubed is the right size for this recipe. HTH. - 10/6/10

    Incredible!

    Awesome. After Sauteeing the veggies, I added remainder of ingredients minus the black beans. Once the squash was softened, I took out half of the squash and put it in blender. I added it back to soup and added the beans. For a spicier version, choose tomatoes with chilis. It was delicious. - 10/25/10

    This is on the menu this week - it is so good!
    I change the spice profile to kick it up a notch:
    add a diced jalapeno, use fire roasted tomatoes, ancho chili powder, cumin, curry and garam masala!

    Using low sodium/no added salt tomatoes will also help lower the sodium level. Using low salt veg broth and substituting more spices (salt free) can help. The beans are being drained and rinsed already, and using low sodium/no added salt beans & draining & rinsing, or using dried beans can help. - 10/24/10
