When I made this recipe (incl 2 jalapenos mentioned above) for my parents for dinner, my mother said it was a soup fancy enough to serve at an elegant dinner party. Everyone loved how it tasted and that it was so pretty. When I ate the leftovers the next day, I put in a dollop of sour cream and it was even more divine!

Delicious! My only change would be to use a food processor instead of a blender. I have a really good blender, but it still came out not quite creamy enough until I put it through the food processor. It might be good with a dollop of queso fresco at the end too - I'm going to try that next time.

so easy and so delicious! I added extra cilantro and jalapenos since my husband and I like spicy, and it was definitely spicy!

We followed the recipe exactly. The soup was very tasty. The spice kick hits afterwards and is very good. My MIL does not like spicy hot foods, so she topped her soup with a bit of mexican blend cheese and sour cream and loved it. My FIL loved the soup and took the rest home! Our total yield was 6-7 cups of soup (ingredients calculated for 4 servings).

we LOVED it! my husband who didn't even want to try it because he doesn't like chayote very much is now asking for a bowl of it! I made it a bit spicy with 2 jalapenos but the flavor is great. i also used white pepper which adds a nice flavor. we will definitely make this again!

Good taste. Needs a bit more substance though. Maybe some meat or another vegetable. My husband doesn't like his food pureed. "I want to chew it for myself." I kind of felt this way for this soup too.

We really liked this soup. I had 2 chayotes and had no idea how to fix them when I found this recipe. The soup was creamy and delicious. I served it 2 days after I made it. The only change I made was to add 1 jalapeno pepper when cooking instead of the red pepper flakes. I served it with a sprinkling of fresh ground parmesian cheese and a couple of homemade croutons.

Very good recipe. The soup tastes creamy and delicious! Instead of red pepper flakes, I just chopped a jalepeno instead.

I was trying to figure out what to do with the Chayote's my mother-in-law gave me and I loved this recipe. Even though I like spicy foods, I will put less pepper in it next time. Love the creamy texture and the fact that it's healthy!
