It wasn't a bad soup, but it was a little bland for my family's taste. I'm not a natural in the kitchen, so I do not know exactly what I would add to kick it up a notch, I just know that my family has requested that I do not make it again.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"01\/04\/2011 13:57","GUID":"6700ab760d784c9fa8f49084b6995f00","MemberId":1165153,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"jennbratton","SubmittedDate":"01\/04\/2011 13:57"},{"Comment":"

I made this because I was experimenting with some \"savory\" squash recipe's instead of the traditional sweet ones. My husband hates the texture of squash, and I thought this soup would mask that. The texture was fine, but the flavor was lacking. Reminded us both of pea soup. I did not make the croutons, but will probably not be making this soup again.<\/p>","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"08\/23\/2010 18:29","GUID":"ad0b8fb56ed54c84b3d113e7f8c37e67","MemberId":3150703,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"LizCav","SubmittedDate":"08\/23\/2010 18:29"},{"Comment":"

Roasting the squash really makes it delicious. I also added in 2-3 apples that I roasted with the squash.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"11\/13\/2009 14:15","GUID":"AFBCDFE65D48428E9E505F628F590A0D","MemberId":511301,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"urchinlee@aol.com","SubmittedDate":"11\/13\/2009 14:15"},{"Comment":"

I am not a big fan of squash but I even liked this soup! My husband and family loved it.
