Made the soup exactly as per the recipe...best butternut squash soup I have ever made. You can really taste the roasted carrots and onions. The wife raved about it. 14 year old daughter...not so much. She had tater tots
I think I agree with Gera21. I tasted before adding the vinegar then after and think it spoiled it somewhat. So I added 1 more Tbsp of maple syrup and that seemed to really help. Served it with a dollop of sour cream and bacon bits. Will definitely be making this again.
Incredible soup! Loved it. Followed recipe exactly, no need to change a thing.
This soup is DELISHES despite the few ingredients. Besides cutting my thumb while cutting the squash it was a painless recipe for someone like me that doesn't have any patience for standing in front of the stove. Will definitely repeat minus the injury lets hope.
I just tried my first bowl of this soup. I made it per the recipe and I wouldn't change anything. This is a wonderfully flavorful soup that I will continue to make throughout the rest of the fall and winter and plan to take with me to the family Thanksgiving dinner.
It was spectacular! I made a few changes. I used dried sage a tiny bit of maple syrup I had left and added a few pinches of stevia brown sugar. I didn't use any cream but the bacon crumbles on the top really made it extra special. I look forward to making it again!
Another brilliant successful Chef John recipe! I had some leftover stock and veggies from my St. Paddy's day corned beef and cabbage and some extra cubed butternut squash from Costco taking up room in my fridge. I decided to search for a Chef John version of butternut squash and voila! Here it was. The only things that I did differently were to use the (strained) leftover stock and cabbage in the soup. I did everything else to a T and the depth of flavor in the soup was just spectacular! I absolutely loved the zing and flavor of the apple cider vinegar. I will thank you forever Chef John for all that you do! This one's a keeper.
I was amazed at how good this was! everybody loved it!
This is the best Butternut Soup I have ever eaten. I made the recipe according to the directions and it was fantastic!
This recipe was good until I added the vinegar. It killed it for me. I would definitely make the recipe again but next time I'll omit the apple cider vinegar. To balance the sweetness I'll just add bacon bits as a garnish...
