I just made this for dinner after having had a craving for butternut squash soup. I was tired of the stuff out of cans and pouches, and decided to give making it from scratch myself a whirl. And it was so worth it. This was just delicious, so good that I couldn't stop myself from licking the bowl just a little as I was putting my dish in the dish washer. I highly recommend this.	1 week 3 days ago

This was absolutely wonderful. The Stilton cheese adds a great flavor. My squash was little over 2 lbs so I used 3 pears and 3 tomatoes and worked out just fine. Sheri Shaw, Franklin, NH	7 weeks 5 days ago

What a beautiful and delicious soup. After fixing it once, we prepared it as the first course of a "prize winning" dinner in which we participated - everyone loved it! Also freezes beautifully. Merry, Saluda, NC	7 weeks 5 days ago
