Not knowing much about butternut squash soup, I don't really know how to rate this. It has a very good flavor, and I think it would be great as an appetizer for Thanksgiving dinner. My husband grew butternut squash in the garden this year, so I had some pureed squash in the freezer. I did not have any minute rice so I left it out. I think it would be great with the rice in it.

We are not usually squash eaters, but loved this soup. I froze the leftovers and it was good when reheated later.

Very easy and relatively quick. This makes a very nice pumpkin soup and my toddler went back for seconds and thirds - Yay!
