Pretty good soup. The biggest change I made was after making the soup as listed I thought it was a little thin for a main dish soup. We like thicker soups. I added some sweet corn that I had frozen this summer. That did the trick.

The flavor is great - it's all about getting the texture right. I don't have luck with immersion blenders and I don't want to mess with transferring hot liquid. so.... I purred the onion, celery then cooked and added other ingredients as directed. then added purred acorn squash. I roasted two acorn squash and it yielded about 5 cups of squash. I used low fat evaporated milk and low fat/sodium chicken broth. I didn't have bacon and felt that it was a little too sweet for me - so put a dollop of low fat sour cream on top. looked really pretty and helped mellow out the sweetness of the acorn squash just a tad.

This was sooo good! I was apprehensive of the dill and curry combination, but it turned out fantastic! The ceyenne pepper added a necessary extra dimension to the soup, giving it a nice subtle heat. Very very good! I peeled, seeded and chopped a butternut squash (instead of the acorn squash) and added the uncooked pieces in with the chix stock and simmered it for 18 mins before blending it with an immersion blender. Turned out fabulous. I really appreciated the thicker cream texture too. Thanks for a great recipe!

Holy soup, this is good! Totally restaurant quality. Like a acorn squash bisque. The dill with the curry and the onions...and the creaminess! Incredible. Oh, and I used a stick blender and pureed it right in the pot. Super easy.

This is a good soup. Next time I may use a little less chicken broth and sub plain water; I thought the chicken flavor overpowered a little. I didn't have onion or celery, but thought it was good without.

Excellent!!! I made a few adjustments: smoked paprika sprinkled onto the squash as it baked, hot-pepper sauce instead of cayenned powder, ham base instead of bacon. Absolutely delicious!! The family loved it.

My soup does not have a very good flavor. It tastes kind of pasty. Maybe I didn't cook my squash long enough? Granted, I put in more celery than the recipe called for (enough so that my soup is a pale green now rather than yellow), but I don't think celery would give it the pastiness.

I started with the bacon in a cast-iron pan and added garlic to the onion/celery part. We did both acorn and butternut squash on the Big Green Egg....so this soup was untouchable!!

This is fantastic. Made mine vegetarian by using veggie broth, veggie bouillon and topped with crumbled veggie bacon. Will be making again soon!

I really enjoyed this recipe, along with my husband and 3 year old son! I made it without changing anything. What an interesting combination of spices, but they truly worked well together. It's going in my recipe box to make again. Especially later this fall. Nice to have an alternate way to use acorn squash rather than just baking it! Thanks

This was a great take on something curryish. Definetly needs a side of rice.

A very easy soup to make and what a flavor! We did not have curry or cayenne pepper so we just added several dashes of tabasco sauce....taked great!

This recipe is AWSOME. I'd never had acorn squash before and bought some and searched for a recipe because it was on sale. I left out the bacon, which leaves an incredibly healthy and very tasty soup. LOVE IT! Made it one day, and ate it all within 24 hrs, then made it again and doubled the recipe the next.

Wow!! Great soup. I knew I would love it but when my husband who hates squash loved it I knew it was a keeper. The only change I made was to use light cream in place of the evaporated milk, a personal preference. Thanks so much, I will make this again and often.

We loved this recipe! The tip to precook the squash in the microwave first was very helpful, however I will change the method a little next time. The vegetables weren't totally cooked prior to adding the milk and blending the mixture, resulting in a grainy texture. Realizing this, I returned it to the pot and continued to cook the soup until the texture became much smoother, however the heat curdled the milk. This was only a minor cosmetic issue and did not affect the texture or taste. Next time I will puree the vegetable mixture, return it to the pan to ensure that it's fully cooked and smooth, and then finish with the evaporated milk. Thanks, Dorrene! This one will be on my Thanksgiving table!

It has been a few days since I have eaten this soup... I just felt like something was missing... I also had added some okra from our garden... the squash I used was from our garden as well... I prob used more curry than normal which I found I love! But the okra had made the texture a "tad" bit slimy... as okra does tend to do, and the squash is almost a SWEET vegetable, and I felt it didn't go with the rest of the ingredients or at the very least I felt like something was missing...BUT today, after avoiding this soup for a few days,i was starving and am waiting on my dinner to cook, I decide to go ahead and see if it is still good and make myself eat some.... I grabbed a packet of Taco Bell's HOT sauce and.... it made this soup go from a 3 star "eh" recipe to a WOW!!!! This is what it was missing! I could DRINK this soup religiously now!!! Good deal... I didn't want to rate it till I found out what I didn't like or what was missing as even a great recipe won't be the same for everyone... we all have different tastes and need to experiment just a little and I am so glad i found out what I needed!!!!! Thanks Dorrene.
