Interesting Ingredients Somehow Work Peanut butter, butternut squash and quinoa? Who ever would have thought to combine these ingredients together was pretty wise. Together they make a very tasty soup. April 7, 2013
healthy and tasty I really loved this recipe! Not only is this appetizing, but it is very healthy, also. This is a great way to introduce a new food to a picky eater. April 7, 2013
Butternut Love in this house! We love butternut soup and made one small change and put our squash in the smoker to give it that delicious hickory flavor! We have made this twice and It was heaven with a touch of chipotle, a dollop of fat free sour cream and bacon! April 7, 2013
Healthy and tastes good. I agree with other reviewer that natural peanut butter would be a better choice. April 7, 2013
Delicious and Filling I was a little nervousl to try this as I was afraid because it had quinoa my kids would not like it. However much to my delight they loved it. Its easy to prepare and so healthy that I try and make often because I get tired of trying to sneak in vegetables for my kids but since they love this, why not give them something they love. Serve with some hot french bread and it makes a really filling meal. To save time Sams Club sells the chopped up butternut squash and this will save you time. April 7, 2013
