After one of her favorite restaurants refused to divulge the recipe for its velvety butternut squash and apple soup, Brie Tennis came pretty close with her own version.
I thought this was delicious. It's sweet but there's no added sugar so it's all natural sweetness. Low in fat & sodium; high in fiber -- a healthy winner. I left the chili flakes out, too, and would do so again. I don't think it needs any extra seasoning. I'm going to be making this one often.
It's quite fruity. We had it with a salad (boiled egg, smoked salmon and cantaloupe) with Mango Chipotle dressing. Maybe will try pancakes, sometime.
Unlike some of the other reviewers, I thought this was a very tasty and flavorful soup. I did do something different: when I roasted the squash and apples, I cubed them all and drizzled with olive oil, salt and pepper. Then followed the recipe exactly. The soup is definitely spicy (with the ginger, nutmeg, etc.) and I think benefits from a salad on the side with a creamier-type dressing, like ranch. Would make again!
Good, but I felt like there was something missing - a spice, perhaps? Still quite tasty, despite the amount of work involved. Left out the chili pepper - maybe this would have helped with the flavor?
