Good with Kabocha Squash I used a 3 lb. Kabocha squash and it was delightful. I thought the lime was really necessary and really improved the flavor but my husband liked it as was.
Was a bit tedious to prep but worth it. It's a very tasty soup! I used butternut squash because it's what I had. I also used black beans because I didn't have other beans on hand. The substitutions were just as good as the original recipe. Next time I plan to use the squash called for and try the squash bowls too!
I've made this soup twice in the past week. We are trying to eat gluten sugar lactose and soy free so this recipe was perfect and very delicious. I used butternut squash and used a potato peeler to peel the skin off before I cut it up. It really worked slick. I cooked up my own pinto beans the first time and used canned the second. There was no difference in the taste.
Cloyingly sweet & one note I was really excited to try this recipe we're always looking for new healthy meal ideas! Unfortunately the finished product was overly sweet from the buttercup squash & lacked depth of flavor. Even after jazzing it up some & trying it for lunch again today (sometimes leftovers are better) I'm sorry to say this meal will not be repeated again. The good news is that our 10 month old seemed to enjoy it as a puree so I'll be blending up what's left & freezing it in cubes for future meals. Waste not want not! Pros: Nice texture & consistency great flavor profile for children Cons: Overly sweet one note
fantastic and easy to use substitute ingrediants This is a fantastic soup that can be easily and deliciously substituted with local available ingredients....any local winter squash or combo of hard winter squashes.....any kind of beans works well----black white red pink or brown without loss of nutrtion.....the roasted squash bowl is a great presentation but does not need to be done to enjoy this soup! Pros: very tasty and nutritious
Delicious and hearty on a cold day! The flavors in this soup are so tasty! I skipped the squash bowl and used butternut squash. I love the fact that this recipe is so healthy and tasty at the same time. This will be a regular for me!
This soup is easy and delicious. We skipped the squash bowls but it would make a fun presentation. I added chopped fresh cilantro at the end along with the lime which gave it a little zip. I think this is best made the day before which I did since the flavors are not bold but blend nicely together. beans greens and winter squash how can you go wrong!
This soup is GREAT! We recently acquired a list of catabolic foods to help with our diets/exercise program and were happy to see four of the ingredients were catabolic! Very tasty and enough left over for tomorrow!:P D.A.Cool
I made this tonight and it was delicious. I used two kinds of winter squash and added chicken for some protein. We really enjoyed it. This will become one of our winter favorites I am sure.
