Very nice soup. I'm glad it wasn't too sweet. I've had some butternut squash soup that was so sweet I couldn't eat it. Found some nice prepared squash at Costco, used frozen chopped onions and frozen minced garlic which made this fast and easy. Thanks for sharing!

    I had 2 cans of chicken broth and I added both (3.5c) not wanting to waste any- it was too much liquid. I think 2.5 c would have been better for a thicker consistency. I added nutmeg and cinnamon to mine as well- flavor was great!

    I added in some nutmeg and ginger to give the soup more of a fall taste. I also omitted the parmesan cheese. It was so good by itself that it did not need the extra calories.

    I cut the recipe to serve 2. A thick and hearty soup great for the snow we are expecting today! Used fresh sage from the garden slightly frozen. Added some powdered ginger! Thanks!
