Karen,

Please let me know how it turns out.

Thank you so much. I did not have any Granny Smith apples so I used some local, just picked small ones from here near Harrisburg, Pa. I’ll do it right next time. I am looking forward to trying it again soon.

Hi Karen,

I’m sorry to hear that your soup didnt turn out as you expected. I’ve made this several times and it’s one of my favorites.

Two Granny Smith apples make a big difference in the flavor and the consistency. They add acidity and wonderful flavor. I highly recommend that you include them.

Three pounds of butternut squash, two sweet onions and two Granny Smith apples can easily handle a quart of stock and create a creamy soup after the fruit and vegetables are soft and its puréed. I hope you give this soup another try and make sure you’re using the same amount of vegetables that are listed in the recipe.

Here I am one year later after your last post. I made the soup today and I am a real novice. My husband and I thought it was a little thin and bland. I’m not sure what I did wrong. I used all of the ingredients. The quart of stock seemed a bit much. All of the seasonings were correct. I even made the 411 and added some of that. I did not use granny smith apples. Would that have made that much of a difference? I really want to get this right. If it all seems right, could you help me figure out what I can do? Thank you so much. Karen

Hi Mary!

Welcome to Syrup and Biscuits. The fall season takes some getting used to, that’s for sure. Just revel in the glory of winter and spring here to make up for it. 🙂

This soup looks glorious… we are year one full-time and 4 part here in Florida from Massachusetts. I need a book to identify some of these bushes and trees that bring me just a bit of fall color. Nice to meet ya!

Tampa Bay Area walk #10, table of Mary. De Colores!

I think pumpkin would be a fine substitute for butternut squash. 🙂

This soup looks delicious. Could I use roasted pumpkin? I happen to have a few right now.
lol I live in Ohio and I love the colors, but then it is followed by snow..

Mary,

We get cheated with fall, don’t we?

We’ve had waves of lower humidity though, so at least it’s not 100 degrees with 100% humidity. For that I am grateful!

Your soup sounds amazing Jackie!

Jaden,

Thanks for stopping by! We have to remember how lucky we are in the spring and winter to make up for no fall and the awful summer! 🙂

Sinead,

That’s a great tip on peeling butternut squash. I’m certainly going to try that! 🙂

And what a wonderful recipe, one that I will be trying very soon, winter has set in here in all its force and delicious soups will be the order of the day. I love Butternut squash, its a staple in my house, for roasting, curries, mash and soups. I find them easier to cut after a few seconds in the microwave, or wrapped in a damp cloth in a warm(not hot!) oven.

Carolyn,

I’m not sure how to propagate Beauty Bush either. My hunch is that since it grows wild, they propagate from seeds. The birds and squirrels love to eat the seeds and I think that’s how they get scattered. 🙂

How do we get one started for myself? We didn’t know if we should try to root a sprig or dry the berries and plant them. Any advice is welcomed, thanks!

Jean,

Your description of your surroundings is awesome! I can see it plainly. Thanks for sharing that with us! 🙂

Ann,

The mountains in fall are heavenly! It’s wonderful that you’ve found you’re place to regenerate. We all need that. 🙂
