Wonderful flavor and full of lots of yummy good for you ingredients. I love Muir Glen's fire roasted tomatoes, and the combination with the roasted squash was delicious. My butternut squash weren't very large, but there was still so much that the soup was too thick to be considered soup, more like pureed vegetables. I doubled the stock and added a cup of milk rather than the whipping cream to try and thin it out. Next time I would just halve the amount of squash. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
