It was OK at first. I made the same changes suggested by SEVERAL reviewers, and it is really necessary for this soup to be good. 1) Add coconut milk during cooking, this makes an incredible difference, not a lot but enough to taste it 2) DO use the yogurt at the end ... it cuts through the soup and really MAKES the soup

This is absolutely the most delicious soup I've ever eaten. I didn't follow the recipe very closely but the idea of making a base from roasted squash and other veggies it brilliant. The roasted squash is incredibly sweet and loaded with flavor. I used an organic butternut squash. I also roasted an onion, a couple cloves of garlic, a half a jalapeno pepper and a red pepper. I blended them all with just a little coconut milk and chicken broth and heated it up. I also stirred in a couple of spoonfuls of Patek's curry paste. I have a feeling this soup is very adaptable and foolproof. I will make it again repeatedly!

This is a fantastic recipe! I make it every fall! I double the garlic, omit the bay leaf, and triple the curry. We like flavor!! :D

This was delicious and I love that it uses plain yogurt instead of fat laden cream, a very tasty healthy recipe! Roasting all the veggies gave it outstanding flavor.

This soup is pretty good. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of five because 1) I've never had squash soup before and don't have anything to compare it to, and 2) I didn't quite follow the recipe exactly. I've made this twice, the first time I only used half a large onion and four garlic gloves b\c two whole onions and a whole head of garlic seemed like way too much. I also added a bit of cilantro like one reviewer recommended and approx. 1/2 cup of half and half. It turned out good but I thought the curry was too strong, and also the roasted garlic didn't . . . ahem, agree with me. The second time I skipped the garlic all together and used half a tsp of curry instead of 1 whole tsp. I also added a dollop of sour cream as a garnish when I served it. I like it better the second time I think. :-)

Really enjoyed this soup, even my brother who thinks anything with a bunch of veggies in it is bad said it was great. I did substitute the coconut milk for the yogurt as other reviewers suggested but I didn't want to waste and put an entire can which is 400ml instead of the 250ml I maybe should have to equal the amount of yogurt... I thought it was a little too much coconut. So I added a little half and half cream I had on hand to even it out a bit. I didn't measure out any of the spices and definitly added more curry and cinnamon! Will make again for sure.

For a variation, I used a butternut and an acorn squash, added a few carrots and a can pumpkin and cayenne pepper. Roasted the vegetables on foil and the clean up was easy. I used a stick blender and it went really fast. I made a large batch and have several servings in the freezer.

I'm on a restricted diet so I had to change the yogurt to 1% cottage cheese, left out the brown sugar and it still turned out amazing! I hope to make this for my friends as is for a harvest party because I can tell it will be even better.
