    I was looking for something that I could prepare tonight to throw into the crockpot tomorrow before I head to school, and this looks perfect! Especially since we have so much snow now (:

    WOW, this sounds really awesome! After a disappointing summer for farmer's market tomatoes, the fall seems to be shaping up with some beautiful winter squashes. I'm thinking of serving this soup alongside a wonderful mess of greens - kale, chard, spinach, mustard greens, collards - lightly sauteed with garlic and olive oil. Thanks!

    Granny Smiths are somewhat tart. It's not an overly sweet soup. It's more savory than sweet although butternuts have a sort of sweetness of their own. But again, it's not a really sweet soup. I can best describe it as earthy. Put the marjoram in during the last hour of cooking. You can put it in at the start but the flavor mutes the longer you cook it.

    The recipe never says when to add the marjoram. Do you add at the beginning? Also, has anyone tried it without the apples? Do they make the soup sweet?

    Personally, I like the yogurt. You stir it in just before serving. Don't "cook" it in or the yogurt separates and doesn't looks so great. The cream will hold up to cooking. I'm sure nutmeg would go great. I don't know about cumin... Try it and let us know! I've tried variations with curry powders (of which cumin is often an ingredient) and it's great with curry powder.

    Oooh, gotta try this - love butternut squash! Which is better - cream or yogurt? obviously yogurt better for you healthwise...LOL. Have you tried with pinch of cumin and nutmeg - how'd you think that would be?

    This sounds yummy! Reminds me of a potato leek soup but the butternut squash aspect sounds really good.
