    looks like a nice recipe but... but did i miss the roasting part on this recipe? :( - 1/17/13

    The recipe talk about adding oil to sauté the carrots but I don't see oil listed in the ingredients. If there is oil in that soup then the calories given for one serving are not right... Also, I didn't have an apple handy so I used a cup of applesauce. Also, instead of Squash I used Sweet Pumpkin :) - 10/22/14

    Incredible!
    I really like this soup! I had more squash so I adjusted the ingredients to match. Will make it again and again! - 2/16/10

    O.K.
    If I make this again, I'll cut back on the onions. It was a very strong flavor to the soup. The dollap of sour cream definatly helped the flavor. Also, didn't have carrots listed in ingred. so I did a cup of carrots? - 10/17/09
