Excellent recipe. Party of Six; everyone loved it! Even my husband, who does not care for soup said he would eat this again.

Delicious soup! I skipped the blender step completely, and the texture was still fine. This has great squash flavor, but needs some zing. Ginger might do it, as another reviewer suggested; I tried a bit more salt and some pepper sauce. Also added a chopped up carrot or 2 with the vegetables, for color.

This is recipe that requires you to "think out of the box" as my Aunt says. It really grows on your taste buds as you eat it! Very tasty the second time!
