I messed around with the recipe a bit and the results were terrible! Here is what I did so you can avoid the mistakes I did.
I had only one butternut squash, so I used it and rounded out the recipe with an extra carrot (I used a total of 4 smallish ones) and a large potato. I used 1/2 a white onion, and chicken stock instead of veggie because that is what I had on hand. I added about 1/2T of chopped garlic, a dash of cayenne, and a couple good pinches of curry spices (one custom blended called kashmir krush, it's kind of like garam masala.) I also used almost a full cup of half and half in place of the cream.
The result was a gloppy, tasteless mess! It was way too thick, salty, and had heat without any real flavor at all. You could taste the curry, and taste the nutmeg, but it is like the spices were competing and canceling each other out. Mostly it was bland and flavorless, except a bit salty!
I'd try it again I think without the garlic / curry / cayenne, and go for a sweeter soup. Maybe a dash of molasses or something to brighten it. But as I made it it was pretty blech (and we normally LOVE squash and LOVE curried anything.) Don't mess it up like I did!
