  I made this soup for my boyfriend and I to have at work and I was really pleased with it. It was very simple to make (I microwaved the butternut squash for easier peeling) and it tasted great. I added a bit more chilli and some paprika though for an extra kick. Yum.

  Beautiful soup, all my family loved this. Butternut squash was a tough one to peel though.

  Really yummy and easy. Used single cream I had instead of creme fraiche and still great.

  Quite easy and sooooo tasty. My partner who is really fussy (has stated previously that he does not like soups and most of the vegetables are no go) was really enjoying it, his mother asked me the recipe and I was really impressed myself too! I used chicken stock and left cream last when blending - when I tasted it before adding cream I thought it could actually work without as (if someone is worried about waistline). Instead of chopped pieces I sprinkled little bit of chilli powder on top to serve - looked good too.

  Really delicious. A hearty warming winter soup. I agree that its not very spicy, but I don't think it's really supposed to be, the chilli just adds to the warming affect of the soup. If you want more of chilli kick then either don't deseed the chilli or just add in another. I will definately be making again! My housemates were jealous and wish I had made enough for everyone when they tried it! :)

  I loved this soup... needed to use up a butternut squash, so had to make do with ingredients up to a point... I used chilli flakes and 2 knorr chicken stockpots... had no creme fraiche so blended in a couple of tbs of double cream (but it tasted lovely before I even added it). Sweet with just enough warmth.. will definitely make again

  I made this soup this week and it is gorgeous. I followed the recipe and used 2 red chillies which has made it very spicy, lots of heat. My husband loves it but it is probably a bit too hot for me. I will do it again and next time use slight less fresh chillies!

  I didn't have any creme fraiche so used half a tin of coconut milk instead - delicious! I'm making it again for lunch today.

  This was great, I used double the garlic otherwise made it the same as instructed. I found it very flavourful and didnt even add salt and pepper to my serving.

  Just made this. I cut the butternut squash in half, removed the seeds and filled the holes with the onions, chilli and garlic. Sprinkled with olive oil and roasted the whole lot for an hour. I cut the squash into chunks (including the skin) when it was cooked then blended everything with chicken stock. Added some maple syrup into the blender near the end. It is delicious!!! Will be making this again at the end of the week as have got visitors and I know there won't be any left of this batch. So easy, no peeling and tastes wonderful. I love it!

  A lovely soup, but found that it needed more chilli - would add chilli seeds next time. Served with crispy pancetta pieces on top.

  This soup is simply delicious! Very easy to make. Made this for an autumn lunch today but could easily grace a dinner party table. As far as soups go, this is easily in my top 100%.
