What a tasty, warming soup. Very easy to put together too. We cooked the squash in stock and crumbled cheese over the finished soup. This was our first time eating kabocha, and it's delicious and surprisingly sweet.

I don't know how this received 5 stars I made as directed used half chicken broth half water it had no taste!! Added some chicken bullion it didn't help. Put it in the blender to make sure everything mixed well. Next thing I knew the blender fell on the floor, that ended that dinner!!!!
