This is a very easy soup to make. It is a good way to use your extra butternut squash. I will probably make this again. As far as my taste, I thought it was good, but not great. For me the sour cream is a must.

Very good, but seemed to need a bit more flavor, so I added a sliver of ginger root (before cooking and pureeing) and circa 1/2 t cinnamon. I think it could still be kicked up a notch and will add more of these and maybe a few other spices next time. Update: second attempt - I didn't have chicken broth so used water, added 1/2 t cumin. Balance of veggies was also probably different. I found that it is still a good recipe.

I believe that this recipee is very good but may need a small amount of pressed garlic added.

I tried this recipe after ordering some at a pricey restaurant. This one is better. I followed the suggestion of roasting the squash beforehand and found it greatly eased the preparation. Also, I left out the celery and didn't miss it at all. I read that some reviews added garlic - DON'T DO IT! This soup has a mild, rich taste that is perfectly balanced. I think garlic would overpower the other flavors. When I served this soup last night I thought Butternut Squash soup couldn't taste any better, but I was wrong. It tastes even better the next day.

I made this recipe just as the recipe said and I think it was delicious. I didn't have any problem with the celery. It was great just the way the recipe was. Very Good!

This recipe works in the slow cooker as well.

Great for a base... had stable flavor.

SO good. I don't think I've had anything better than this at restaurants!!!

Delicious and healthy soup! Like some of the other reviews, I didn't use the celery. I have made it several times and have tried using sweet potatoes and regular potatoes. Both are delightful. I also add 1/2 teaspoon of marjoram and 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper for some extra kick! It's one of my favorite recipes! Thank you for sharing!

Great soup for a cold winter night. I served it with some BLT's and some people never made it to their sandwhiches!!

I added some garlic powder to these as some other reviews suggested and the soup was very bitter and had a bad taste to it. I think even without the garlic it would have been kind of bad. I recommend following the recipe exactly and seeing how it goes.

delicious and flavorful! i added just a little curry, not enough for it to be the predominant taste, but to give a little extra depth to the flavor. yum!

THIS SOUP IS WONDERFUL AND QUITE SIMPLE TO MAKE. I TOOK THE ADVISE OF OTHERS AND DID NOT ADD CELERY; BUT DID ADD A DLOP OF SOUR CREAM AT THE VERY END. I ALSO BAKED THE SQUASH AS ADVISED. DELICIOUS!

This is a great soup base. I also roasted the squash for an hour along with an entire head of garlic drizzled wirh olive oil. I am giving it 4 stars because as is the recipe is plain and kinda boring. I added a pinch of nutmeg, ginger and cayenne pepper and it was PERFECT. Also, as much as I hate to admit it the sour cream is a must! We try to be healthy in this house and cut down on the calories for useless asthetic purposes but the taste with the sour cream is wonderful! Try the fat free sour cream and you can not tell the difference. Will definitely make again with the changes I noted above.

Very good. I roasted the squash before adding to the soup. I also added fresh ginger. I thought the soup was a little thick, so the next time I make it I will add more broth.

Wonderful fall soup!

This is an awesome soup. I baked the squash at 375 for an hour as another reviewer had suggested, and other than using baby red potatoes (skin on) I followed the recipe exactly. I found this soup quite tasty, and felt no need to add any other spices as others have indicated. I served it with a simple salad, and 'Easy Baking soda biscuits' (from this site).

Yummy soup-I felt healthy eating it. And it was pretty easy to make. I wish I would've read the reviews and cooked the squash separately, but I just used a vegi peeler and it went pretty quick. I followed the recipe except that I had used up my celery with other recipes, so that it lacked. I think next time I will add a couple other spices, yet it definately had a full vegi flavor as is.
