Very nice soup. I followed advice of others, adding sour cream to cream soup, chicken broth white pepper. Have this with some home made bread. There is no regret to make something different on a cold evening

Mmm..delightful! Substituted more carrots since I lacked butternut squash. Added a whisper of celery salt to the water and stirred in 3T of cream cheese at the end. Now that it is gone I realized I forgot to add cinnamon.. an excuse to make again!

This recipe is amazing it is as close to perfection as it gets. I used an already peeled half butternut squash to save time and chopped the carrots in my vitamix blender-honestly it could not have been easier. Loved it!

I've made this recipe several times now and it always comes out well. I add plenty of ginger, probably more than this recipe calls for, but I also boil it all together for a lot longer than 20 minutes so that the ginger is super tender and purees well. I'm also not a fan of the cinnamon addition to this -- I think it makes the soup a little too sweet, but that's my own preference. I add cumin instead and it adds just a hint of a more smoky, savory flavor. I've also been known to serve with a dollop of sour cream on top--perfect soup for cold winter days!

I LOVE ginger, so added the full amount called for but it was the only flavor that came through. Very bitey. Maybe a case of winter vs spring ginger? Spring ginger has much less bite. With the addition of 1 and 1/2 butternuts and a second pound of carrots, I can slightly taste them. All that being said, once I balanced out the ginger, it was a great soup. Next time I plan to take the advice of "LeBlond"; I'll follow the recipe but put in big slices of ginger and remove half before the puree. That way I can taste it and add more ginger if needed.

I absolutely love this soup! I added more cinnamon than the recipe called for, and it was delicious. My boyfriend doesn't like squash or cinnamon, but he actually enjoyed eating this! Oh, and it goes great with a grilled cheese sandwich :)

Loved this soup.....ok I have to admit I tweaked it a tad...but just a tad. I love cinnamon, good thing as I accidentally added about 2x too much....I think it was a great addition. I happened to use baby carrots, just because that's what I had. I also added two bullion cubes of no sodium chicken to the 4 cups of water just to give it a bit more flavor.

Excellent. Easy to make. I used fresh cooked pumpkin instead of squash. The family all liked it

Delish! The only changes I made were to remove the ginger pieces before blending (as recommended by other users), and I used veg stock in place of water. I also prefer to use plain Greek yogurt in place of heavy cream for garnish.
