I used a sweet potato instead of a white potato because that is what I had. My whole family enjoyed the soup.

It was delicious! So easy to make and YUMMY! Thanks for this recipe. I know we will use it again and again!

I took the other reviewer's advice and roasted the veggies--squash, a medium onion, the potato and 3 cloves of garlic. I pureed all the roasted veggies together and added it to vegetable broth. A few pinches of sage, curry and garam masala were used to season. Also used half and half. Really wonderful recipe!!

Ah, skipped the butter & onion step, used vegetable broth & half & half with a little ground ginger and curry. Burned my tongue in anticipation of scarfing.

Wow-this is so good, so simple! I used about 1/2c extra squash for more flavor & used a clove of garlic w/the onlions.

In answer to the one said cutting up the squash was hard an would buy already cooked squash.. Well answer to that cut the squash in half clean out seeds and place on cookie sheet sprinkle with a LITTLE oil bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 min. Roasted squash inhances the soup flavors. Love to cook

I've been making this soup for years and tried different ingredients with the basic recipe. Such as sweet potato, ginger, and a dash of curry powder. To make it richer use half & half... Enjoy. Toni

This was great! My husband isn't big on "exotic" dishes, but he loved this soup! He said he'll have to get more squash so I can freeze it to make this again.
