I can't believe people who said this was tasteless! This was sooo easy and sooo delicious. I did NOT roast the squash before hand like some suggested, I cubed and browned it like the recipe called for, it only took minutes. I DID add celery seed instead of celery (didn't have any), a couple garlic cloves, and cinnamon. I also like my soup on the sweet side but did not like previous suggestions of using brown sugar...so drew inspiration from another squash soup recipe on this site and added one cubed apple with the veggies and a couple ounces apple juice with the stock. YUM YUM! I can imagine it will be good with the dollop of sour cream, but it certainly doesn't need it. I am glad to find a cream-free squash soup. I might sprinkle some slivered almonds on top when I serve it for supper later (had a taste before hand!!) Happy concocting!
