Was a little thin for me - I prefer a thicker soup although the flavor was good. Great way to use leftover buttercup squash from the garden but next time will 1/2 the amount of chicken broth.

Great recipe! My husband devoured it. It was super delicious and very easy to make. Cutting the squash in half was the hardest part, lol.

This was good and I will make it again but, If you have a good fresh squash you don't need the cayenne pepper. My wife bitched me out that I added that to a dish that didn't need it. It's ab...
