One of my most favorite soup recipes of all time. The spinach and butternut squash make this soup very colorful as well as flavorful.

I have made this recipe several times, but it definitely needs some spicing up. Last night, instead of chicken,t I used andouille sausage and added some fresh ground black pepper, and that did the trick. My husband raved about it and said that I could make it any time! A little less healthy, but a lot more flavor!

I was quite disappointed in this recipe. It was an "okay" soup, but nothing great or special, and definitely not worth the work that went into it. I really don't understand why it was awarded the grand prize in the Feb/March 2007 issue. I think there are much better soups than this. It probably won because of the "health" factor. I started making this around 2:00, and we were eating dinner by 4:30... just to let others know how long it took. I did have all the vegetables (except the kale) chopped and ready earlier this morning. This soup was good enough to try one time, but I won't be making this one again.

I have made this recipe so many times and, of all the recipes I repeat this one is my favorite. My husband loves it and so do the friends I have shared it with. This recipe definitely deserves a 5-star rating. It is colorful in looks as well as flavor.

I made this using boneless skinless chicken breast and low sodium chicken broth. I also cut the recipe in half. Have to say it turned out to be very delicious.

I make a soup similar to this and instead of squash I add a can of Italian seasoned diced tomatoes. It adds quite a bit of flavor. I have also made it with turkey sausage instead of chicken. There are many varieties to this. I have even added pasta to this dish to make it heartier. Add some chicken soup base or bouillon to it and minced garlic.

This soup has zero flavor. Don't waste your time.

So good, tasty and healthy. Only problem: preparation time involves lots of chopping!! Only make it with helpers.

Nothing fancy and lots of work, but healthy and nourishing.

First, I halved this recipe, because the original amount is too much for four people.Allow yourself LOTS of time to prepare this--it took so long to prepare the chicken and chop all the vegetables, I was beginning to think we would be eating this soup while wearing our pajamas!I recommend adding whatever seasoning you prefer to "spice up" the soup, as it is very "basic". If I were to make this recipe again, I would use some "short cuts"--frozen squash, boxed broth, even a rotisserie chicken from the market.
