Had a huge squash and had to adjust the seasonings as is this recipe seems to be for about a 2 pound squash. I substituted rice vinegar for the cider, the squash was sweet enough. I increased the proportion of curry, added some minced ginger and also some lemongrass paste to broaden spice palate.
Am I right that this recipe wants you to roast the squash in its whole form?
I am making this soup for the second time in a month with "found squash". the squash is a bit small, 2.5 pounds, but it will work. wish it was a bit bigger. First time, it was great. This time, I baked squash in the oven for easier peeling. No cider, so I used apple juice, I put in 4 cups of chicken stock, last was a bit thin. When almost done, I jullienned small bit Kale and put that in about 5 minutes to soften. VERY Good, VERY easy
