SO HOW'D IT GO?
I doubled this recipe so that I could have soup at work during the week.
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly Llorona_the_killer. In the end, I didn't end up putting the bread slices in the soup but I will the next time I make it.
i didn't care for this too much but the rest of the household liked it. i used an accorn squash. not sure if that messed things up. the soup was too sweet for my tastes.
Acorn squash has a lighter and more delicate flavor to the butternut squash. Try it again with the butternut and you'll get a less sweet result.
CW, I would think that an average sized Butternut would do fine.
I haven't made this soup in a while & I just happen to have some lovely squash on my counter. ^-^
This sounds super yummy. I can't wait to try it!
...Is the weight of the squash pre-cooked, before peeling and seeding? or, is there an approximate quantity (in cups or likewise) of squash "meat" to go by?
This soup is fantabulous! I added onions and kept the apple cubed and unblended because I like chunks in my soup. My husband just about fell over when he tasted it.
I absolutely love any type of winter squash & always seem to have at least 3 different kinds at any given time. And who doesn't love a hearty bowl of soup during a blizzard? ;) This recipe is quick & easy to prepare. I used 1 tsp of Rosemary & 1/2 tsp of Marjoram. Also, I sauteed one chopped onion because I love onions & use them in almost everything.

Good stuff. Thank you

I'm so glad you liked it! My mother likes to add onions to it, too, but I'm a bit biased against them, lol. Glad it worked out great.

I am cooking this soup & I have a question for the poster of this recipe...or any one else that may know. What is the purpose of the bread slices? I add it to the broth & cook it along with the other ingredients?
Thanx for your help.
I just added this recipe to my recipe box & am hoping that I have time this weekend to make this soup. It sounds wonderful. I'll be back..... ;)
