AMAZING SOUP! I agree with the previous reviewer (Danielle), that one should stir or blend in the yogurt - it didn't totally blend in. Otherwise, absolutely phenomenal soup. Definitely will make it again - maybe even for the in-laws!!

WOW is this good and did i ever feel proud of myself as my friends told me how delicious it was! ONE THING I would do different is to really give the yogurt a good STIRRING befor i added it to the soup.

I didn't have to tweak this recipe very much, and it was SO GOOD. I did do some things differently because I didn't have oregano - I used 1 tsp. pizza seasoning. Also, I used another reviewer's advice and added 1/4 cup coconut milk in place of the brown sugar, although NOT in place of the plain yogurt. I didn't put in 6 cups of veggie broth, I actually slowly added enough until it was to MY desired soupiness. I did double the curry and added 1 tsp red pepper flakes because I need the heat. I garnished with CILANTRO, because it's so much more fitting and compliments this soup better than parsley. I have three male roommates, two who took the leftovers to work today, and one who said this was the best soup he's ever had.

I have tried this recipe and got a 5star rating from the neighborhood when I served this soup in our mini fiesta at the clubhouse. I personally love the taste and so the rest too! They said they only taste this kind of soup from a 5 star hotel. whoaaa... I made some changes though, like i put fresh coconut milk (abound in the Philippines)instead of yogurt. I found no parsley and nutmeg so I have to let go of these ingredients. I have no weighing scale so I just estimate an equivalent. No vegetable broth too so I use seafoods broth and reduced it to 6 liters. I add flour too to make it thick. FANTASTIC!!! thanks a lot!

It was allright i think, but next time i will make a few changes. I think the soup was far too thin, so next time i will use 2/3rds of the broth that you reccomended. I will also omitt the cinnamon (as i dont like it all that much), and MAKE SURE the vegetable broth i use isnt too strong, otherwise it kinda swamps the butternut squash flavour. Oh and guys, i dont care how many people say it, using double the amount of curry powder would totally over-take the flavour of the squash. Oh and i used chopped cilantro for garnish, because cilantro is always a better herb to use for curry-like dishes. Oh and also, another reason i gave it 2 stars, is because when i added the yoghurt, and stirred it, the yoghurt just ended up in little spots, and didnt blend in correctly. So presentation-wise it was a bit of a flop.

I loved this soup! Just bought a fresh jar of curry powder which made the soup really potent; just the way I like it; nice and spicey! I'm not crazy about sweet soups, so I left out the sugar. Delicious Lesley and thanks!

The roasted veggies made this soup delicous. I also used the coconut milk instead of yougart.

Okay, I must confess,I've made this twice and it's a keeper! 1st time I made it, I started off by accident NOT reading the recipe, and cut the veggies, sticking it in a pot with vegetable stock and while it was boiling away proceeded to read the recipe... Well, after all of that, it turned out terrific! My husband proclaimed it his favorite, yet! Then 2 weeks later, I roasted the veggies and must admit it was even better than the first time! So, if you don't want to "mess" with roasting as some have suggested- don't- boil it and run it through the blender/food processor and you'll have a definite keeper recipe! But if you are patient and roast everything, you will be rewarded handsomely for your effort! My husband and I thank you for this terrific, low cal meal!

Wonderful! I used two medium squash since recipe didnt specify size of the one, also I upped the curry powder and used coconut milk at the advice of another review, in place of yogurt because I didnt have any. But these were my own person variations... This is just a great recipe with a perfect blend of spices. Other reviewers mentioned it being annoying to roast the veggies or that it dirtied all of their dishes but to the contrary I dirtied very few dishes and how hard is it to cut a few veggies and stick 'em on a cookie sheet? Only problem I had was being to imatient to let them cool before I scooped them into processor! Ouch!

Roasting always brings out the natural sweetness. I added a little cayenne pepper and some Garam Masala (an Indian spice) to make it nice and spicy. Loved the yogurt in it, my husband omitted it. The yogurt really provided a nice cool contrast to the spicy soup. Very Weight Watchers friendly.
