Quick, easy and delicious! This saved me when I found myself part way through a different squash recipe without the necessary ingredients. I've read a few reviews that said this was too spicy... I didn't find it spicy at all. Just a warm and hearty Autumn stew.

Not a big fan of this recipe. I didn't like the cinnamon in the stew and I found i don't really care for acorn squash. It is a pain to peel.

This was easy to prepare and delicious. I added peas, diced yellow potatoes, cabbabe, extra garlic and a splash of Tapatio. It came out tasting similar to some of the dishes I've tried at African and Ethiopian restaurants. Cannot wait to make this again. And I don't even like squash!

I didn't find this "spicy hot" at all. It seemed like a stew not able to make up its mind what it wanted to be: Indian? Southwestern? chili? salsa? The flavors all blended together. Perhaps adding ingredients at more distinct times, or adding the fresh tomato toward the end of cooking, would have made it better. I won't know, though, as I don't plan to make it again.

I love the cinnamon flavor in this! I used only half the tomatoes for cooking; I prefer them raw, so I used them as a garnish. Without the liquid of the tomatoes, this became a thick stew quickly! Delicious!

This is the most wonderful stew I have ever had! It has such a wonderful flavor! Unfortunately, it was too much flavor for my husband, who isn't a squash fan. And the kids wouldn't touch it. No accounting for taste! If vegetarian isn't your thing, could substitute chicken broth (vegetable broth good too) for the water, and would be great with a lb of hamburger sauted with the onions, or lb of sliced kielbasa added. Butternut squash has thinner skin so easier to peel than acorn. Just use carrot peeler.

changed the following: 1 tbsp cinnamon, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp chili, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 6 cloves garlic, 3/4 jar tomatoes. Not a soup you can eat a lot of. Next time try adding nutmeg and only 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Also try adding fresh parsely. Try using pork as a base for the broth.

I'm so glad I've found a new way to cook acorn squash. This was a big hit. The only changes I mead were that I only put in one tablespoon of chili powder, following other reviewers comments. And I added a can of chicken stock. The one cup of water was just not enough liquid to cover everything that was in the pan. And fresh lemon juice is a must! It brought a nice lift to the heartier flavors. Definitely making this again.
