Delicious! All the family loved it, including my 3 1/2 year old and 10 months old sons. I made it with leftover roast chicken which I boiled a long time + picked every last piece of meat and skin off the chicken (no waste). I added a bit more freshly ground coriander seed than called for (about 1 teaspoon). I served it with cheesy croutons made from a piece of stale crusty bread I had, tossed in olive oil and shallow fried till golden, and finished off with a grating of mature cheddar. Yum!

Excellent soup, very hearty. I took it to a party & everyone loved it, even the picky eaters. I had roasted a chicken the day before, so I just roasted the squash and onions with some of the leftover chicken drippings, then added diced meat from the leftover chicken, both white and dark meat. I will make this again. You could make the recipe even easier by buying already diced butternut squash and store-made roasted chicken. It was beautiful, too - the orange stew topped with green cilantro.

This was simple and delicious! Definitely will make again. I shredded a leftover rotisserie chicken breast, added some cinnamon and topped with crispy kale. Tasted and smelled just like autumn.

Made this stew tonight. Used chicken breast instead but we absolutely love this. The flavors are so good. Served it with some good Irish Soda bread I had made. Very, very, good! :)

Delicious. Followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken needed an extra 20 minutes in the oven.

This recipe is super good! Anything with butternut squash tastes delicious. I added some McCormick Hot Mexican Style Chili Powder to it for some extra flavor. It really underlined the roasting and cumin flavors and was a good balance to the sweetness of the butternut squash.

Absolutely delicious, but I added corn cut off two cobs of corn and the leaves from a single bunch of kale. *to die for* I think adding chicken broth, and using half a roast chicken I already had on hand made this especially tasty :)

Really disappointing! I was excited to make this, based on the 5 star reviews, but this was a huge greasy mess - I should have used chicken breasts and maybe it would have turned out better? I ended up puree-ing it in hopes of salvaging it, instead of just tossing the whole thing. I don't know if I will be making this recipe again.
