Sweet Acorn Squash And Apple Soup

This is the first soup I've ever made "from scratch." The hubby loved it and insisted that I make more so there are leftovers next time.

This is a wonderful, creamy and tasty soup! I've made it twice now. First time according to recipe. Second time I made some changes. I roasted the acorn squash ahead of time and scooped it out of it's shell...it was too difficult for me to peel it raw. The roasting also brings out a sweeter flavor in the squash. I added another carrot, cut the apple juice down to 1C and added 1/2 cup more of chicken broth. The changes produced a slightly less sweet but, IMO, a deeper flavor to the soup overall.

Loved this soup! Just the right amount of sweetness and nice smooth texture. So glad I made this for my payback recipe in Recipe Dare! Thanks Rita! I used butternut squash with a dollop of sour cream.

Excellent fall soup. I served it hot with a dollop of sour cream for a Harvest dinner. The apple really adds something special to the flavor. This goes into the "Definitely make again" category.

Excellent soup. Delicious. I cooked my acorn squash (whole) in the oven on a previous day. I used half n half instead of heavy cream. I served this with turkey kielbasa sandwiches. It was a perfect complement. Thank you very much!

This was good. DH liked it too. For the squash I used your Pureed Squash Butternut, Acorn Any Hard Winter Squash! as it was much easier than pealing and cutting it! I was lacking a carrot & butter so I replaced them with a hard pear and used compleatly olive oil. I used less than 1 1/2 cups apple juice as I believe it would be too strong an apple juice flavor. I didn't have broth so I added a garlic clove to the onions and additional salt to the water. Used brown sugar but would be so good with maple syrup I expect. I used rice milk in replacement of most of the water instead of cream (milk allergy) was still good served warm garnished with nutmeg. Could make this again

This is outstanding! The only additions/ changes I made was adding a dash of ground ginger, 1/2 t brown sugar, nutmeg in the soup not as garnich and chicken broth. I also added a splash of brandy at serving. I would highly recommend the brandy. It seemed to cut down on the natural sweetness of the soup. A real winner here. Thanks Rita! We loved it!

Very velvety soup. I made it with 2 small fuji apples, evaporated milk, and my favorite Martinelli's apple juice. It went well with Cheese and Onion Bread Pudding (Cheddar Gorgeous! Cheese and Onion Bread and Butter Pudding) for a veggie dinner.

This was Soooooooo Good! Even my 10 month old LOVED IT! The SMELL is AMAZING! Once you are prepped, it goes rather quick and simple. Instead of using Vegetarian or Chicken Broth I used beef broth from another nights roast. I loved it!! LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

This tastes great! I made it over the weekend and to cut the fat a bit, I used fat free half & half instead of the heavy cream. Still has a creamy texture and great flavor. I also left the skin on the apple for vitamins and flavor! :) On question though...did you all have a hrad time peeling the acorn squash? I sure did! Worth it though!

A truly outstanding soup, it filled the entire house with the aroma of Fall. I used oil, butter and heavy cream quite sparingly, and it was still wonderful. To give it a little more body, you may want to make sure your squash is on the large side or use two. I opted for adding maple syrup we recently picked up from the Neil and Rita Rowat orchard in Ontario, CAN (awesome stuff). Next time I will include yogurt garnish and the cream sherry. BF made sure to tell me to keep this one. So, I think I just found a wonderful side dish for our upcoming Thanksgiving feast! Thanks so much Rita! Update - Made for Thanksgiving, even tastier than it was a few weeks ago. Decreasing the liquid to squash ratio made it nice and thick too. Really wonderful. Forgot to buy cream sherry, maybe next time!

Warming and filling soup-I love the creaminess and warm spices subtly sweetened with syrup! I used chicken broth, but think it would be better with veggie broth. I also added extra apples. A great fall recipe; thanks Rita!

You can make this easy soup with complete confidence that it will turn out perfectly delicious. I used vegetable juice and a half a butternut squash, since that's what I had on hand. I'll bet pumpkin would work also. To my taste it didn't need the yogurt garnish, but the nutmeg was a great touch. This is yet another recipe of yours, Rita, that get saved in my cookbook!
