Absolutely delicious! I have made this a few times and always use a little less olive oil. I also use olive oil instead of butter. I've used fresh chillies and dried chilli flakes equally successfully and I often add a little cumin when cooking the onions. Great flavour, great smooth soup.

Nice soup although a bit sweet. Definitely needs more chilli to offset the sweetness. I put the suggested 2 chillies in and had to also add chilli flakes. Easy recipe.

Made this yesterday for friends - it was very tasty and had a pleasant kick to it but I did cheat by using a teaspoon of hot lazy chillies from a jar (which are already prepared) rather than fresh chillies. We all loved it, though

Lovely soup. I added some extra spices and served with some warm homemade mediterranean bread.

Easy and yummy recipe.

Extremely easy to make and sooooo tasty. I made this for a starter at Christmas and my guests loved it. I now make this all the time but use One Cal Spray instead of butter and a half fat Creme Fraiche so it's great when on a diet.

just before I saw the receipt ov $5246, I didnt believe ...that...my neighbours mother woz actualey making money part time online.. there sisters neighbour haz done this less than twenty months and resantly took care of the morgage on their home and bought a brand new Citroën 2CV. go to, =======wow65.com=======

Brilliant - not my comment, but from those who came to eat it!! A good hearty soup. Slightly too much chilli for my palate, but left out the chilli dressing the 2nd time and even better comments. Many thanks.

Very delicious and satisfying. Will definitely make again, thanks!

Love this soup!! I put all the veg plus oil and butter in the roasting dish and cooked for 40 mins. When cooked, tipped the veg into a large pan together with the stock & seasoned it. Didn't have crème fraîche so stirred same quantity of half fat long-life cream at the blending stage. P.S. I stab the butternut squash all over, put it in the microwave for about 5 mins then let it cool a bit. That way it is far easier to peel.

Wonderful soup!!!! I will make this again and again and..... (It looked like the picture too!!)

This soup is lovely and very warming and filling. I found that cutting the squash in half, scooping out the seeds and roasting it until the flesh is soft is much kinder on the hands than trying to cut it up raw. Also, when it is cooked you can peel the skin off quite easily so you don't waste any! I will certainly be making this again, it was a hit.

Made this today, absolutley gorgeous, really loved it, very tasty, not hot at all!! Was plesently surprised, thumbs up :))

Mmm! great idea about the garam masala Jan

Really loved this soup. Second time I made it I didn't have any creme Fraiche, so I used coconut milk.....perfect! Think it was even better with the coconut milk.

if you want to make soup spicey add dessert spoon garem masala to onion . lovely

Very easy even for me, and very tasty. has given me new confidence in the kitchen

ONLY STARTED EATING BUTTERNUT LAST YEAR AFTER ATTEMPING TO GROW SMALL PUMPKINS IN THE GARDEN. NEEDED TO TRY BEFORE I STARTED. OH MY GOD.CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE NEVER EATEN BEFORE, ABSOLUTLEY DELICIOUS THE SOUP RECIPE NEEDS NO CHANGING GOES REALLY WELL WITH MY HOMEMADE QUICK EASY BREAD. LOVE THE BUTTERNUT AND CARAMELISED ONION RECIPE ALSO.

For some reason I always struggle to make soup - I know, it's supposed to be the easiest meal to make! This recipe, however, seems to be my triumph. I roasted as much squash as I could fit in my oven dish and boiled the rest. I used hot chilli flakes and chilli puree as well as flaked sea salt and it was lovely. I added more chilli flakes I love spicy food and it was delicious. I will definitely be making this again!

Just made this soup for tomorrow's working lunch, very easy to make with great flavour, butternut squash never seems to be easy to peel and chop though...there must be a knack to it!...anyway..loved it!
