This was a hit with my family....BUT, I thought the addition of fire roasted tomatoes (even though I like them) seemed not good for this recipe. But I am generally a recipe follower so I added them.

This was very good and hearty as described. I did omit the tomatoes like other reviews. My only modification was: my grocer carries frozen mashed butternut squash in a 10oz package that was right next to the spinach. I used 2 packages, so much easier than having to bake, peel and mash! The squash was not very sweet so added maybe a tsp or 2 of sugar to sweeten it up a bit. Used mild Italian sausage, will probably try hot Italian next time.

When it cools, it is simple to peel and remove the seeds without sacrificing any meat. This soup was tasty and pretty. I did wilt some beet greens after the sausage\/onion was cooked. And I used dry yellow eyed beans that I cooked up quick like in my instant pot, seasoned with oregano, smoked paprika and bay leaf. This made a huge batch of soup, but I don't think it was 12 servings if you were to eat it as a stand alone meal ( no bread\/ salad).","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2018-12-16","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"WireWeasel"},"reviewBody":"Being disabled and seeking simpler options, I substituted the whole squash for 2 32-oz containers of Pacific Foods Organic Squash Soup, which I found at my grocery store.

I was dreading to peel that squash with that tough rind, but I did it like I do Spaghetti Squash. Put about an 1\/2 inch of water in a pan (I used my convention oven that's the size of a microwave), cut the squash in half and put it in there on 400 degrees for 30 minutes while I was sauteing the red peppers. I didn't use fresh onions as I deal with heartburn, but I used onion powder so I could get that flavor. I stopped at Target for my ingredients as the store isn't that close to me on the way home. They didn't have Great Northern Beans, so I bought Cannellini beans...which are white kidney beans..no big deal to me..it's a white bean..lol. It all came out great. I used Better Than Bouillon Chicken for the flavor. It came out great. I'm sure if you want a vegetarian version, just leave out the Italian sausage, and use Better Than Bouillon's Vegetarian one. I usually use turkey type sausage anyway, and might try just plain smoked turkey sausage next time to see how it tastes. A great soup for the cold days.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2017-01-12","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Appy_Girl"},"reviewBody":"Perfect soup for a cold winters day or night.

I am able to purchase butternut squash that is already peeled, seeded and cut. To address people's comments about how time consuming it was to prepare the butternut squash, I was thinking that cutting the squash in half and roasting it in the oven or cooking it with a little bit of water in the microwave until it was soft and could be spooned out of the shell might be a good alternative method. Roasting the halves or pieces in the oven should give it a nice carmelized flavor.
