I'm not sure what went wrong, but this soup was not good. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out right.

This soup was a disaster! The butternut squash was not cooked through and the soup was way too thick.

I found this soup to be a little bland. I think it could have used more seasoning.

This soup was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try adding less brown sugar next time.

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but this soup was really good. The garlic and nutmeg really balance out the flavor of the squash.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash. It's also a great freezer meal.
