This recipe is pretty wonderful, but for me I think the proportions of cream cheese is just too much. I only used half the amount and it was still way to creamy, and tasted so fattening! I added 2-3 times the onions that the recipe called for and loved the results. In conclusion, next time I may just make this soup without the blender or cream cheese. It's delicious even without step 2. Thanks!

Such a simple, yummy recipe. I substituted about 1/2 a can of condensed milk for the cream cheese, since I didn't have any on hand. Added a potato and doubled the cayenne as suggested by other reviews.

This soup is excellent! I have never even had butternut squash before, but fixed this for my elderly father who has to have all of his teeth pulled. I was surprised how tasty it is. I followed the advice of other reviewers by roasting the squash and only using one package of cream cheese. I also a whole medium sized onion. Will definitely be making this for myself in the future.

I cut the amount of cream cheese in half, and worked out perfect for my family!

FANTASTIC recipe! We had this with Easter dinner, and it turned out perfectly. Minor changes to the recipe: 2 medium sized onions, butter vice margarine, chicken broth in replacement of the water, and 2 cubes chicken bouillon. Sooo good, we had nothing left... Thank you!!!

Roast squash in olive oil, salt, and pepper face side down instead of the skillet idea. Till tender of course. The skin should peel off very easily when it's done roasting. Oven temp around 375 to 350. Depending on how much time you have. Also only one package of cream cheese should be used. Two is way to much. Also add some nutmeg into the mix it creates a much more complex pallet. And much more delicious. Since this recipe is so creamy I added fresh cooked bacon bits to add a little diversity in texture and some chopped chives as a garnish. It helps to keep you interested in eating. The guy loved it.
