Yum! I have never made a squash soup before and this was great. Our OJ was expired so we put in more broth instead and it was fine. We also used a Cinderella pumpkin instead of butternut squash because that is what we had, and it was still great. We had some sour cream in the fridge and put a dollop on top which was tasty- not necessary, but good. *warning- be careful if you use a food processor because it filled ours so high it was leaking out the bottom and we had put it back in the pot and use one of those immersion blenders that you can put right in the soup pot.

Delicious! Makes great leftovers too. I followed the ingedient list, but cooked it the easy way - just threw everything in the slow cooker. Taking a cue from some slow cooker recipes with similar ingredients I put it on low for 8 hours and it came out great! The four is because I thought it needed some more flavor and so I mixed in more curry powder when it was done. Thanks for sharing!

My friends and family love this soup. I make it with vegetable broth so my vegetarian friends can enjoy it as well. I also added an extra cup of broth since it gets a bit thick when chilled. Even though I make a double batch, it doesn't seem to last very long!

This soup was different, but very good. I found the orange juice to add a nice flavor and didn't seem to think it overpowering at all. It's definitely thicker than I would have thought. For convenience I used a rice cooker for the wild rice and an immersion blender to puree.

This is pretty good. I used a buttercup squash and simmered the chunks in the chix broth/o.j. I sauteed the garlic (and some fresh ginger) separately and cooked the wild rice separately, so I still ended up using three pans, but that's okay. It pureed up nicely. I think my version might be a good Halloween soup, because I ended up using some purplish-black wild rise that I got at the Asian foods store awhile back. So I've got an orange soup with black rice floating in it. :) I also added a splash of sherry.

Had white rice and frozen squash, but no orange juice on hand. Substituted a splash of lemon juice. Also doubled the curry powder, used fresh chives instead of onions (we're all out), and added a shake of ginger, and a pinch of cinnamon & cayenne pepper. I had some heavy cream in the fridge & added about 1/3 cup. Creamy and delicious! I'll definitely play around with this to vary the flavor in the future.

This soup is amazing! I microwaved the squash because I was too lazy to peel it. Added a bit of cinnamon, which plays with the curry quite nicely.

A wonderful soup...the only changes I made was to puree only half of squash and onions to add texture. I also added a can of chickpeas to add a little protein. I thought the orange juice would give it a funny taste, but it gave it the perfect amount of an acidity needed to balance the flavors.

really did not like the orange aftertaste, the entire recipe seemed to be missing something, and as delish as the curry smelled, it did't really make the soup. This is one in the "no" column for me.

Since I am making this soup in October here in Michigan, I substituted apple cider from the cider mill for the orange juice. I added a peeled apple to the onion and garlic (OK, I used two cloves of garlic). Rather than boiling the squash, I chose to cook it covered on low heat w/ the onion/garlic/apple until it was soft (about 45 minutes). I like soup w/ texture, so I reserved a portion of the veggies before pureeing the rest. I cooked the rice in the broth then added to the pot. The first time I made the soup, I tried cooking the rice in w/ the puree, and found that the rice remained too firm even after boiling for an hour, so cooking it in the broth is the way to go. I made this soup for some vegetarian friends using a vegetable stock for the chicken, and it was awesome. I really like this soup w/ cucumber slices - the cool crunch is a nice contrast. Thank you for this delicious recipe!

To save on dishes and extra steps, I made this delicious recipe using only one soup pot, one soup bowl, and the blender. You will appreciate this if you have no dishwasher :) Caramelize the onion with a little butter and brown sugar in a large soup pot. Add in crushed garlic when the onion is almost fully cooked. Remove cooked onions from pot and set aside to cool in a soup bowl. Boil the chicken stock in the same large pot, reduce heat and cook the squash until it is tender. Remove from heat. Use a masher to mash squash while it is still in the pot. Add orange juice curry and any other seasoning. Let all the ingredients cool off a bit. Combine the caramelized onion with the squash broth in blender and blend. Return to the large pot. Heat to a boil, add rice, reduce heat, and adjust seasoning. Once the rice is cooked the soup is complete. Tip: the more pale the squash is at the grocery store, the less ripe it is, so choose one with more color.

This soup is really tasty! I was skeptical about the orange juice, so I waited until the end and added it to a small bowl as a test. I was amazed by the tangy complexity it added. It may sound like a weird ingredient to put in soup, but it's definitely a good addition. I only had one, smallish, butternut squash, but I didn't adjust any of the other amounts in the recipe and it still turned out great. ****In later attempts I've waited too long to use the squash and it had gotten sweet. Beware sweet squash, the sweetness really didn't work well with the other flavors in this soup.

My family loved this! I was in the mood for a dish to serve over basmati rice, so I steamed the squash in some vegetable broth adding just enough liquid, then mashing it. I added cubed firm tofu and jalpeno to the onion mixture. I put it all together with coconut milk. Yummy!

I really liked this recipe. I made a few adjustments based on what I had, and I think it turned out great! I used 2 cloves of garlic instead of 1, because I love it; my husband went and drank all the orange juice right before I went to make it, so I ended up using apple juice instead and I think it worked really well. I also didn't have wild rice, so I just used brown rice and I think it's pretty good. This is definitely a recipe I'll come back to and play around with. Thanks!
