Oh My, this is delicious. My DH & I could hardly stop eating it. I made it just like the recipe said. I did use my hand BLENDER instead of a regular blender. Less mess & so easy to use. Served it with a dolop of sour cream, Yum and a little red pepper flakes. This recipe is in my files. Thank you Kim

    Excellent, creamy texture, and a pretty soup with a kick! I didn't have bacon, but browned the onions and carrots in olive oil instead. Tasted great, though next time I think I'll scale back on the amount of red pepper. I will make it again.

    Gotta say "Thanks"! I really enjoyed the taste of this soup! The slightly sweet and curry flavors were just the ticket for a cold German Winter night. The only thing I changed was that I used condensed milk instead of cream. I will make this in the Summer and eat it cold, just as I did the leftovers from yesterday!

    Really good soup! I've never eaten butternut squash before, but my boyfriend bought one and this was the recipe I chose. I made it as written, but I didn't have allspice, so I subbed a lttle cloves. I used extra red pepper, and stirred in the sour cream and bacon.. I also added just a tad of liquid smoke to enhance the flavor of the bacon. It was perfect for this cool, dreary day. Thanks for the recipe!

    Very delicious! I've been wanting to try making a butternut squash soup for years but never got the chance. What luck that the first recipe I tried was a definite keeper! I did make a few changes: used low-fat turkey bacon (didn't produce any drippings so I added a little olive oil; I also crumbled two strips and added it to the pot for flavor and pureed it-skipped crumbling bacon on top of soup); used half-and-half instead of whipping cream; used low fat sour cream. I loved the spicy taste of the soup, but some people thought it was a little too spicy so next time I may decrease the amount of spices(not sure by how much until I do taste testing).

    This soup was so delicious, One bowl was not enough! Very easy to put together as well. This is definately a new favourite!!! I didn't have any cream so I stirred about 1/2 a cup of sour cream right into the soup and skipped the dollop on top.

    A beautiful way with Butternuts! A great recipe for company or just for the pure enjoyment of it. The seasonings create great harmonies, and the black pepper adds zing. I used freshly ground nutmeg and toasted my allspice before crushing. My garnish was fresh marjoram, sour cream and the lovely hickory smoked thick cut crisp bacon. A definite keeper. Thank you, Kim127. A note concerning personal preference: cutting the black pepper in half will not hurt the overall product which was wonderfully bright and attractive, flavorful and appealing.

    Oh, we all loved this one! I've made it twice, making it again tonight. The second time I made it, instead of the whipping cream, I used fat free evaporated milk and there was no difference in taste or texture. Yummy!
