  I found wine taste quite strong. I would not use it at all next time.

  Best pumpkin soup ever! I've tried without the pancetta and the pine nuts and it is still delicious.

  Lovely rich soup - a real winter warmer. I made it without the pancetta and used vegetable stock in place of the chicken stock to make it veggie.

  The wine taste was far too strong in this soup. If I was making it again I think I'd leave it out entirely.

  This soup is delicious.I didn't bother with the pine nuts or the pancetta, just serves with a brown roll. As the other comments mentioned the wine taste was strong I heated it for a few minutes and then left it on a low heat with the stock whilst I was roasting the veg. The outcome was delicious, very tasty and lots of flavour. It is rich but not too rich, just the right balance. I usually add chilli and spices to butternut squash soups to add depth but this was far superior than those versions. I would make this again without a doubt.

  Urgh! The wine made it taste very strange. Especially with the citrus from the lemon. I would have loved it otherwise. I highly recommend to keep the wine out!

  I am not at all sure about this soup - I have just made it for a dinner party but I am not sure if I can serve it - it tastes very strange - almost sickly sweet with a citrussy wine aftertaste. Perhaps I have done something wrong but I have checked the recipe and I don't think so. I should have trusted my instincts when I thought it seemed odd to put honey with something that is already very sweet. Oh well - I will have to try something else. Usually I love James Martin but not this time!

  If you are making for the first time - please listen to the comments below re: the wine.... I read but ignored to my detriment! The wine makes the soup almost uneatable. Sickly sweet.urgh...
