Wonderful soup! Fed it to my co-workers got raves and requests for for recipe. Followed recipe (don't always) put dollops of Greek Yorgurt on top. You need to use the Smoked Chipolte Chilie. That's what gives it the smoky flavor.
As with every recipe from your magazine that I have tried this one is a winner! It has more flavor than I imagined it would and is actually very hardy. I can't wait for my next issue. I made all of the tofu recipes in the June issue and one of them twice and they were all great! Thank you so much!!!
Baja Butternut Squash Soup This soup was just the ticket for a chilly Vermont afternoon accompanied by a whole wheat French bread dipped in olive oil and garlic. I mistakenly used 1/4 tsp of chipotle chile pepper instead of the recommended 1/8th but it added a great kick and greatly enhanced the soup's heating powers. Next time I'll use 4 cups of veggie broth rather than the 6 cups...and there will definitely be a next time! This constitutes 2 points plus on the Weight Watchers program...thank you for including the nutrition values! Pros: I love the 'cleanness' of this soup fresh veggies little or no fat Cons: Had it been slightly thicker it would have knocked our socks off!
I was thrilled with the outcome of this soup it was creamy spicy rich and overall a great success. I also only used four cups of vegetable broth and it was perfect. My boyfriend doesn't like celery so I replaced the celery stalks with two carrots and it was just fine.
This was a really easy soup to make. I substituted chili powder for the chipotle and didn't have cloves so I used allspice and 4 cups of broth not 6. I used an immersion blender and when the vegetables were blended I added the 1/2 cup of yogurt and blended further to make it creamier. It was very good.
Zippy hearty delicious! Delicious. Like others I used 4 cups of broth instead of six. The exact salt & pepper measurements noted are perfect; once added they took the soup to a new level. My roommate added cinnamon to hers so I might try that for my next bowl.
What a disappointment this soup was. It had an off flavor and to me was not very good.
Will make this again the flavor was excellent. I followed the recipe with the exception of using a different chile powder rather than the chipotle and only used 4 cups of vegetable broth so the soup had more body. I am also freezing some. I did use an immersion blender which works very well for this soup but left some chunks in it.
Just finished this and consensus in the family (including a 6 1/2 year old) was that it was really good! I substituted the chili powder for the chipotle (using the minimum amount just to keep the heat down for the kiddo) and decided to add 2T of brown sugar just for something different in hopes of keeping the kiddo from turning up her nose right away (and I think it worked). This will definitely be made again.
