Soo good! I made it for my family and they devoured it. Perfect for winter nights!
Not a fan, found it too sweet. I thought squash was savory? Idk, just my opinion.
Too sweet? Really? I love that it tastes sweet! Makes it cozy for winter. I don’t think it’s supposed to be super savory tho.
I get what you’re saying! Squash can be sweet, but I think the nutmeg adds a nice touch. Maybe try adding more spices next time?
I followed the recipe exactly, but the flavor was kinda bland. Maybe needs more spices?
This soup is so creamy and delicious! I added a pinch of cinnamon and it was a hit. Will make it again!
Butternut squash is a veggie? I thought it was a fruit! lol. Anyway, the soup is fine I guess.
