I have been making this recipe for years. I do not find it bland at all and I make it as stated except for adding a little extra ginger. As others have noted it is very filling.

I followed the advice of others to add some cinnamon and nutmeg. I also added 2 stalks of celery and 1 carrot, and substituted the water for chicken broth. I didn't bother adding yogurt at the end because I didn't have any. I LOVE this soup! It is so healthy, too!

I used vegetable broth instead of water because of all the comments that it was bland. I enjoyed it, but I would prefer it more svavory than sweet. So, next time I will not add the brown sugar and maybe use some milk or cream in place of some of the liquid.

I roasted the squash and apples first and used a ton more spices per everyone's suggestions. This is a total crowd pleaser!

I loved this recipe! In response to all those reviews about flavor, just add a teaspoon or so of cinnamon and maybe half or a quarter teaspoon of nutmeg. You'll be able to smell it when you have the right combo of spices, it will smell like apple pie.

DELICIOUS! At first I wasn't too thrilled... however, after a day of refridgeration, this has become my favorite soup!

This is just an outstanding recipe tho I did have to make some substitutions like with the butter for low fat and such and I did not have fresh ginger so I did use ground. Also I did not have apple cider and so I used pear juice which I did have and as for the yogurt I had vanilla low fat. And the squash I I had a buttercup squash but I tell you I put all that together and it came out the greatest soup. One thing is for sure you really must have the yogurt garnish or it will be bland. Oh, also I did not have white pepper I had a mixture of peppercorns and ground those fresh and used that instead. If you love squash you must try this soup.
