This is a wonderful "special" soup for family and friends during the holidays. Unfortuantly not everyone likes Butternut Squash, but for those willing to give it a try, are "pleasantly surprised". This is one of my favorite recipies and I followed it exactly as written. You can't go wrong!! Thanks Campbells Kitches for sharing this terrific soup!

Fantastic! We had this at our Christmas dinner and everyone ate it, even the preschooler and toddler. My husband didn't care for the sage butter, but since that's added to each bowl to taste he left it out in later bowls. He also hates squash in general but liked this. We served it again last week when we had dinner with friends and it was a huge hit. It's now on regular rotation. The only changes we made were because the pantry was low: boullion & water instead of broth; McIntosh apples and therefore slightly reduced sugar; and since I didn't have sage leaves I melted a bunch of butter in a skillet, put in a tablespoon of rubbed dry sage, simmered for a minute, and then strained the butter.

I used Acorn Squash with this recipe. It turned out "nice" but not great. I think I would rather have it strained through some cheese cloth or something as it was overly textured. I think I will also add some more chicken boullion next time. The presentation was awesome and after the few tweaks listed above, this will be a holiday regular!

Honestly, this came out terrible for me. I'm not sure if the 1 inch cubes should have been smaller. I'm not sure if the cayenne pepper that dominated the taste was necessary. I have no idea. Only 1 person at my dinner liked it, and that person was not me. I hope this recipe comes better for anyone reading this, but I followed the recipe and it was not good. I'm sorry, I love cooking and most recipes I read on AllRecipes are good, but this one did not come out good at all.
