"My husband and I loved this soup. The ingredients are unexpected, but taste great together. The butternut squash was very hard to peel and chop though. Next time I may just buy it in the soup form. I also did not have a blender, but I used my small food processor. It took more time. I took the large pieces out of the pot and put them into the food processor then added all the pulp back to the liquid in the pot and stirred. I topped the soup with bacon instead of prosciutto and it tasted wonderful. It adds a nice texture to the soup. The recipe says to use a pot, and you definitely need your largest pot if you're going to make this because of the 4 cups of chicken broth that you add near the end. I loved this recipe, even though my hand got really dry and stained from chopping the squash. So use disposable gloves if you are going to cut up your own squash. This is a wonderful soup for fall.
