Comments on Savoring Time in the Kitchen: Butternut Squash, Apple, and Leek Soup

I can't imagine why this would have a high carb count either. Butternut squash is not high in carbs. You could eliminate the croutons and that would help.

I’m wondering what is the driver for the high carb count on this? I’ve seen similar recipes with corn, and not quite the same level of carbs. Is it hidden in the seasonings perhaps?

I love butternut squash soup and I always used an apple when preparing it, but never leeks or oranges juice. I'll have to try that addition the next time I make it.

I recently visited Atlanta with my husband on his last business trip --he is now retired:) I stayed downtown, but wish I knew about this exceptional mansion as I would have loved to see it! WOW!

I adore squash soup and make one as well using both butternut and acorn squash plus apples. I especially love how velvetty the soup tastes once done and without any cream - that's the best. Lovely recipe!

Not a bad thing either - it's what comes after that isn't my favorite.

I'm going to bookmark this, Susan. The butternut squash soup I've been making for years came from Williams Sonoma Thanksgiving cookbook; The flavors in yours would make a world of difference.
I adore those southern mansions! I used to take a group of women on trips every year (not professionally) and their favorite thing to do by far was touring plantation homes.
