I thought this soup was great and so did my meal co-op group. Great way to use up some squash in the fall and I made it and froze it and it is a great thaw out meal in the freezer with some biscuits! I made it with madeira and some cumin and six pepper blend since I was out of curry and I thought it was great! I am making a huge bunch of it for the next couple of days to freeze up and last me until next squash season!

Really tasty recipe. I gave it four stars because I would have liked it to be a little smoother, but that might be from something I used instead of the recipe. I used gala apples, butternut squash, acorn squash and a frozen winter squash puree I bought at whole foods. Five stars on the taste!

I peeled and sliced a butternut squash in half and roasted it along side a bulb of garlic, one onion quartered and 1 red pepper sliced up. I brushed the veggies with a bit of olive oil. When everything was done I pureed them together with my hand mixer (braun multi-practic) and added chicken stock. It tasted really good at that point with all of the roasted vegetables but I also added a 1 tablespoon of mild curry paste and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. I served it with a small dollop of sour cream. It was delicioius!

Extremely tasty, made it without sherry, ginger or curry so my toddler can eat it. He loved it. Thanks

I love this soup!! I followed the recipe exactly as written and I believe it to be perfect. The flavor is so warm. It is perfect for these cold days.

I can't believe I'm just now getting around to rating and reviewing this soup. From the first time I made it, it has been my favorite. At the end of cooking, I add a pint of heavy whipping cream to give it a more creamy consistency. It is lovely. When I just made this I just used acorn and speg. squash. I also add several carrots that have been cooked till soft. You could actually add sweet potato or pumpkin to this as well. It would all work well with the flavors. Just work with what you have or what you can find. I think leeks in lieu of onions would also be very nice. I do up the curry and add a bit more cayenne and garlic. Just keep playing until you find your perfect flavor for your family. We tend to like things with a bit more kick and flavorful bite. This is great with baguette and a nice salad. Try it with the pear and roqfort cheese salad from this site (can't remember the proper name of that recipe, but it is wholly wonderful with this soup). Lastly, I much prefer this recipe room temperature, rather than heated. It is just my preference. It is also nice topped with cilantro.

I received many praises for this recipe from my boyfriend and his friends, who before tasting, weren't sure they even liked squash. A few changes I made: 1. Left out the spaghetti squash and used the suggested amount of acorn and butternut. 2. Substituted Gala apples for Green. 3. Substituted Sherry with a white wine. Don't leave out the apples, they really make the flavor. Great recipe! I will try it again, making subtle variations for variety.

A great tasting soup perfect for the winter. I used the acorn and butternut squash I had on hand together with a sweet potato I also cut in half and roasted. Topped off with a dollop of sour cream and this was a great meal.

My husband and I loved this. I used buttercup (not butternut) squash only, used homemade applesauce that I had lying around instead of cooking and pureeing apples with sherry (this speeded up the process), and added buttermilk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground black pepper. Roasting the squash makes all the difference!!

This is my first attempt at squash soup. I read through all the recipes and this one sounded like it would have the taste I was craving. I was not disappointed! Roasting the 3 kinds of squash, the sherry, apples, ginger and curry, all gave this recipe a complex flavor, with nothing overpowering. I had a 4-cup box of broth, so I used half and half for the other cup of liquid. I don't like to mess with a recipe on the first try, but next time I make it I won't change anything anyway. Thanks, Verona, for a great recipe.

Verona’s recipe is delightful. You’ll get excellent results if you just do everything per her notes. It’s a beautiful golden yellow colored dish, with good tummy warming flavor. First note: As written you get a bunch o’ soup, almost a gallon in my case, so, if you build the full recipe keep this in mind. Might be a very good idea to change the serving size to smaller level before you print it all up. Verona’s very specific in her squash types. Personally, I find that as long as the squash types are all yellow, you’ll come out fine. Big note: Please, anytime you cook squash, do it in the oven, just as Verona suggests. If you boil squash you not only pull all the water-soluble vitamins out of it, you pull the sugar. You’ll be amazed to find that if you cook squash properly, it’s so sweet you NEVER add sugar, syrup or whatever. You see “add sugar” constantly in squash recipes, and honestly, it’s ridiculous. Try roasting it just once, and you’ll almost certainly agree. Oh, great “guy recipe” here, dudes. It’s not only virtually bullet proof but it has a Manly Mess Rating of at least 7 out of 10.

My sister & I are just starting up a catering business, and I have made this on two occasions. Both times it rec'd the most compliments of all the dishes we prepared. As other readers comment the recipe is very flexible, so adjust according to your taste - I prefer lots & lots of ginger, sherry, and curry...yum!!

Loved this! I used 2 acorn squashes, since that is what I had instead of the spaghetti or butternut, and I upped the curry to 2 tablespoons. Also garnished with a couple of tablespoons of snipped cilantro per bowl. Presentation was great, and the flavor combination was unusual and wonderful. Lovely!

Excellent taste. I forgot to buy green apples and used fugi instead, but it still had a great taste. I don't usually like curry powder, but the combination of flavors is very complementary. My coworkers commented on how good my lunch smelled.

I adapted this based on what I had at home & it came out VERY good. I used one delicata squash, cut in half & cooked (face down) with some water on the bottom of the pan about 40 min. I also used 2 sweet potatoes--peeled, cut into 1" squares, and cooked in the microwave with some water until soft, about 10 minutes each. I used one apple & one pear. I used only 4 cups vegetable broth--I got the fifth cup of liquid from the stuff with the sweet potatoes. Lastly, I used white wine rather than sherry. If you like sweet & spicy soups, you'll like this a lot. One more thing: the prep time is more than 10 minutes, more like 25.
