  1. This was SO good. A neighbor gave me 5 acorn squash. I used them all and I think I had 6 cups of squash. I doubled everything except for the dill weed (wasn't sure I was going to like that), bouillon (thought I would have enough salt), I doubled the celery, and I used lowfat yogurt. Fantastic. Also I calculated the calories on spark people's recipe calculator site. As I made it, I think it was 78 calories with 2.5 g fat for 1/2 cup serving. (no bacon and croutons) Hope that helps someone.<br/>1/2012 I make this recipe a lot--I love it. Today I made it with butternut squash and evaporated milk--YUM!!!
     
  2. Another 5-star from kittencal. Used low-fat yogurt instead of cream, increased curry to 1/2t and found a repeater. Great choice for the first storm of the winter season.
     
  3. This was just lovely. I wouldn't have thought of dill with cayenne, but it was delicious. I may try to lighten it up next time with fat free sour cream in place of the cream. I used a Krenshaw squash since I had one from the garden.
     
  4. Everything from Kittencalskitchen is the BEST! I used evaporated milk and Italian sausage, and it is absolutely wonderful! Thanks for another great recipe that I will keep using again and again.
     
  5. Here's another five star review! My husband and I LOVED this soup. He liked it so much he wants to serve this on Thanksgiving. To lighten it up, I used fat free half and half and I didn't add any bacon. Just a wonderful soup. Thanks, Kittencal, for yet another winner!

Tweaks

  1. Love this soup! Used evaporated milk instead of cream, skipped the bacon and followed the recipe exactly. So simple and super good. I picked up some acorn squash from a local farm for an amazing price and then found your recipe. I'll be picking up several more to make more of this soup to freeze. Thanks for sharing the keeper recipe.
     
  2. This was a good recipe; a different meal from what I usually make. I made a half recipe, which I think will easily serve 4. I subbed skim milk for the cream and left out celery and bacon since I didn't have it. Great with some toasted bread!
