Good but not easy to perfect and the puff pastry didn't taste good with this at all.
Great I actually made it with cheesy garlic bread instead of puffy pastry :)
Don't know where to buy nutmeg here in Lithuania so ignored it for now, anyone know what it does exactly?
Bookmarking this page for all the amazing things from here it's always delicious and the creamy broccoli and squash combo is mouthwatering.
It was alright but a bit too grainy for my tastebuds, though my grandma actually loved this so I'll make it again just for her.
I used unsalted butter instead so it wouldn't be too salty and thank god I did because it was salty as is, really good though just lay low on the salt.
Omg i'm obsessed with this squash bowl it's flavorful and easy to make!! 5 stars from me all the way
Grainy and thick it's really good with salted crackers.
Used goat cheese instead of chedder and replaced the milk with lactose free milk too, then you got yourself a safe meal if youre lactose intoleherant like me lol.
Make this and then some bailey cake for dessert, you won't regret it!
My kids gobbled this right up and they loved the color more than the soup is what my 5 year old said haha.
Delicious and easy to make really loved this.
I LOVE squash and therefore I love this butternut squash soup!! Warm and sooo filling thanks !
Very filling, didn't even need to make a maincourse thanks to the puffy pastry filling everyones stomachs.
