Overall, I thought this soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

The soup was too thick for my liking. I added some extra broth and it helped to thin it out, but it was still a bit too thick for my taste.

This soup was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it helped a bit, but it still wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked.

I made this soup last night and it was a hit! My husband even asked for the recipe, which never happens. The soup is velvety smooth and the flavors are well-balanced. I especially love the hint of nutmeg. I will definitely be making this again soon.

This butternut squash soup is amazing! It's creamy, flavorful, and has the perfect amount of spice. I love the roasted garlic flavor that comes through. My family loved it too! Everyone went back for seconds and thirds.
