I think next time I'd bump up the spice a bit, but it's still awesome exactly as it is. It tastes like fall. I also roasted up the squash seeds with salt, and my roommates and I promptly devoured those. And Rebekah, my guess is that the original recipe called for sugar and that it just got left in the directions by accident even though Deb didn't use any. I left it out and when I make this again, I don't plan on adding any. I made this soup last night, sans the croutons, and oh my goodness I could die from the delicious.

I just made this last night and I can't get enough of it. So delicious and flavourful. The sage and thyme really added that extra something. I added an apple myself to put "my" stamp on it. Will definitely be serving this to friends and family this fall+winter! I second Sybil! I just made this last night and I can’t get enough of it. So delicious and flavourful.

If there is an exact amount, I'd be curious to know. Thanks...my kitchen smells delightful. Oh, and I caught my microwave on fire trying to get my sqash to steam enough to cut it. Make sure you remove that pesky stem!

I used a variety of squash that we had from our organic delivery this week. I didn't need to add the cream. It was silky and very creamy without it. This is a deliciously velvety soup.

I just made it this evening and it went down very well in my household. I followed the directions exactly, except for adding a handful of stilton blue cheese crumbles towards the end. For those who are trying to decide whether or not to try this recipe out, I highly recommend it. Great soup! I just made it this evening and it went down very well in my household.

The first time I saw him do it I thought he was mad, but after tasting the finished product - perfectly cooked fruit and beautifully crisped but not overdone topping, I understood.
