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!

This was a great easy recipe. I added chicken to make it even more hearty for my husband. My toddler loved it as well. I've made it over and over for friends. Thanks!

Wonderful tastey , healthy soup. I cut the orange juice to a dash. I added 2 jalapeno's, finely chopped to the onion/garlic mixture. I added a 1/8 of a cup of dry cooking sherry. I cut the salt down to a 1/2 teaspoon. Also added a handful of finely cut frsh parley to the onion/garlic mixture. It came out great. I will make this soup again.Beth

I have made a ton of this already and absolutely love it. Very filling, works as a meal on it's own. I add extra hot curry powder to give it a bit more zing.

I sort of made my own version of this soup, and it was if I might say, freaking awesome. Even my husband loved it and he's not a soup fan. Orange juice just didn't even sound good, so I left it out entirely. But the recipe still needs some acid, so I pureed 3 or 4 yellow tomatoes and a green apple in my blender and added that at the beginning. I also carmelized 2 red onions in butter and brown sugar and added those. The box of wild rice I just threw in, no need to cook it separately. I used six cups of chicken broth, an entire large squash which I steamed first and then pureed before adding to the soup, and a whole tablespoon of curry powder. It was just amazing--the flavor had so much depth, and oddly you couldn't taste curry--it just sort of blended in as if it belonged there. IMO you can't go wrong with curry, butternut, and wild rice!Thanks for this recipe!!

I did a few things different- I used a box of frozen squash, and I did not put it in a blender or food processor. I used only 1/4 c. of oj too. This was very good, even my 4 year old daughter had seconds! If you want it heartier, I bet chicken would be great in here.

The flavor of the orange juice overpowered the soup. Next time, I will omit the orange juice to see how it tastes.

This recipe was excellent. It tasted great and was not too complicated to make. My only substitution was that I did not have wild rice, so I used white rice instead. It was fine, but I suspect wild rice would have added even more flavor. As a time saving device, and a "dirty fewer dishes" device, I cooked the rice in one pot, and I simmered everything else in another pot, rather than boiling the squash, draining water, then adding everything else. It turned out really well- I just simmered everything together for about 45 minutes.

My wife loved this soup! I got one bowl out of a double recipe?!? Very good and simple. Will definately make it again, but only four out of five because it didn't blow my mind. Just really good.

The soup was very good. Boiling the squash in the chicken broth saves a big step and preserves a lot more vitamins and flavor. Also the amount of orange juice was possibly a bit much? It added a little too much. I used more curry but curries vary a lot. It's a good recipe to "play" with.

This was a very pleasant recipe. I wasn't sure how much squash I had so I just added the broth and rice to the consistency that I wanted. I used only 1 tsp. curry just because I had scaled back the rest of the ingredients. I added 1/2 c. heavy cream just because I like my squash soup creamy. That was just enough. There was something missing, though. Couldn't put my finger on it. I will make this one again. Thanks.
