    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 love squash soups - will try this without cheese and perhaps with plain yogurt instead - 5/29/08
