Blended squash with cream of chicken soup and added skim milk to thin. Cooked sausage with onions, fresh garlic, celery and red wine as advised by other reviewers. Seasoned meat mixture with southwest seasoning, cumin, basil, flaked chili peppers and cayenne b/c I couldn't find spicy turkey sausage then added to squash mixture. This soup was absolutely delicious.

I wasn't sure about this recipe because I've never cooked butternut squash before, but it was excellent! Hearty and delicious. Even my husband couldn't get enough, and he's not a big soup eater.

This is a great recipe - I changed it up a little. I only had spicy italian sausage when I made it so I sauteed the onions and then the sausauge then added a little crushed red pepper flakes to make a little more spicy. I pureed the squash in the blender and added in the chicken stock with the rice and then added a little heavy cream at the end - YUMMY. My husband loves this dish!!!

I used a little less ground pork sausage and it turned out great!! You could also add other veggies like celery and carrots or even potatoes.

Great soup! I used regular pork sausage b/c I couldn't find turkey and I was afraid my young ones wouldn't like the heat - although I can see where it would really add alot! My husband added some hot sauce to his bowl and again to his second. :) I added not quite twice as much rice, but I was also short on corn. Will definitely be making this one again!

I thought this was very tasty, but I did make some changes. I added some minced garlic, used brown rice plus more than a 1/2 cup to thicken up the soup. I used sweet turkey sausage and sauted it in chardonnay and topped off the soup with some mascarpone cheese as suggested by otehr reviewers. My hubby liked it as well...I will be making this again as butternut squash is my favorite. thanks Dena!

I really liked this soup, I did use tofurky italian sausage and soy creamer instead of heavy cream. (to make it vegan) I also added a bit of cayenne pepper and cumin. Left out the corn and added celery as some others mentioned. Very good! Served with a slice of cornbread.

Wow - this was fabulous! My husband, who doesn't like squash, really liked it, too! I couldn't find spicy turkey sausage and used regular sausage instead. To make it spicy I added a little cayenne while I was grilling the meat and onions. Be careful though, a little bit goes a LONG ways! :) We will definately have this again soon!

This time of year I enjoy soups very much and make a lot of them. This one I will not try again. Texture and flavor just is not what we look for in a soup. Some may like it but, I don’t recommend it.
