It was incredibly smooth and flavorful! Definitely a keeper. I really appreciate the alternative to traditional, sweet squash soups that include apples and/or lots of sugar and cream.

It was the perfect addition to our turkey, potato, stuffing feast. I doubled the recipe and the leftovers fed my family through the following day. I kinda stuck with the original recipe (Deb posted the link at the top of the page) and also added an apple, which I roasted along with the squash. I can't wait to make it again!

It was by far the most luxurious and flavorsome soup I've ever tried, and the cumin is so perfect with the flavors of the squash. I didn't have ginger or cream; I can't wait to try it with the ginger next time, but I don't think anyone missed the cream. We garnished with some fennel because it was on hand, and it was perfect.

I am not a fan of squash and didn't know what to do when I found myself in possession of a couple. Thank you so much for this recipe and your website; it is a favorite of mine.

I deliberately made mine extra thick & it was wow :) Thanks again for great recipes!

After a bite, he turned to me and said that if he were served it at what he considers the best Mexican restaurant in Boston, he'd think they'd outdone themselves! Thanks for giving me the pleasure of making him so happy. I have a gluten-free friend and want to make the butternut/ acorn squash soup. Someone else at the party is vegetarian- do you think it will work with vegetable stock? And, if I make sure the stock is gluten free and use gluten free bread, will it be a gluten free recipe? I think so, but wanted your opinion. Thanks so much for your wonderful website, Liesl Hi Deb, Before I ask my question I want to tell you that i made the acorn squash quesadillas for my boyfriend.

This is my first post. I am cooking up a variant of your winter squash soup as I type (Squash is baking) -- squash soup is a favorite for October and reading your post about the trip to upstate NY just put me in the mood to cook on this grey in-and-out of sunshine fall day. I happen to have some gruyere on hand, so will go out and get those baquettes--that will be a new touch for me. So far I've tried the Red Pepper Soup (last Christmas eve-- a Delicious success), the lemon tart-- less so, only I liked it, it reminded me of France; your Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble has been a huge repeat summertime hit with my three guys, and now I'll try this soup. Most of all, I wanted to convey that I just love the tone you strike- irreverent, fun, creative. Reading your blog puts me in the mood to be creative in the kitchen, too, as well as offering a lot of good tips. The photos are lovely, as a parent of older teenage to young adult "kids" I love walking down memory lane with your parenting stories. And you hit the right notes with the sly nods in the direction of your husband, love, but subtle, and always served with gentle wit. Thank you-- keep up your fabulous site!

I also love adding yellow curry powder to any and all recipes with butternut squash - you can thank me later for the magical discovery. Overall - YUM all over.
