George Delamea says:

I had ordered a butternut in my weekly produce box, expecting a bigger squash like we normally get. When it was a little one, I had to find something other than the stew I had planned. This came out quite nicely. The paprika and the coconut milk really brought a lot to this soup. Happy accident!

Jessica Scott says:

This soup is so creamy and flavorful, and the spices are subtle, not overwhelming. What I love most is that the ingredients are simple and it cooks so quickly! This is the best recipe for when you want something easy and healthy after a long day. I can't wait to make it again!

Greg Jones says:

My wife first introduced me to butternut squash, now it is one of my favorite seasonal ingredients. This recipe is extra special because I made it for my wife as part of a 5-course anniversary dinner. The cinnamon, cayenne, and paprika spices are incredible together. Very good recipe if you are looking for a fall or winter soup.

Jake Findlay says:

This was so simple, I always assumed butternut squash soup was very time consuming because it looked so fancy with those cream drizzles in restaurants. Found the cubed squash at Trader Joe's and was finished before I knew it. Loved the spices used in this, just the right amount of complimentary flavor.

Geoff Villeneuve says:

Gotta love squash!

Sheila Long says:

Added a can of chickpeas like the recipe suggests, love the texture balance it created. I've made butternut squash soup a handful of times, but this was my first time using a pressure cooker. By far this was the easiest recipe I've made.

Joan Chamberlain says:

Can I use frozen squash cubes? What adjustments should be made?

James LeBlanc says:

An absolute favorite! Flavor profile is top notch and the ingredients blend together very well. Very forgiving on proportions of chick peas, tomatoes, spinach, etc.. Can also make non-vegan versions with my favorite being adding some cooked shrimp after wilting the spinach. A once a week recipe for sure!

Rut Spin says:

Loved it and my family loved it too. Easy to make.

Jaclyn Morris says:

It was okay. Not very flavorful.
