Had lots of extra squash from the garden and found this recipe. It was awesome one of the best soups I have ever had. Defiently a keeper for our family of veggie lovers

I have lots of squash frozen from last fall and will make this very soon, before the weather gets too hot for soup! I was wondering though: what is 'country ham' and why shouldn't it be used? Thanks Mrs. Deen! From a 47 year veteran of diabetes

You aren't the only one who has been told they have diabetes. I was told a year and a half ago after some yearly blood work. Please list the nutritional information with each of your recipes. I could never figure out why The Food Network never had a show that was for diabetics or at least gave the nutritional information.

Hey Melissa! Thank you for your question. This soup is a bit of a "chewy" soup, but it should not have curdled on you. Make sure not to bring the milk ingredients to a boil and allow it to come to a simmer slowly after you add the stock. You will LOVE this soup and it's great with leftover chicken too!

I am not sure what happened but when I made this soup the broth became very "curdled like". I'm not sure if it was the cheese or the milk but the broth had a chunky texture. The flavor was really good but how do I prevent this from happening again and coming out with a true soup?

This soup is spectacular!

Response to making for one: Cut recipe in half and it will be good for at least two meals. Something this good is always good a second time!

I would like to try this recipe, but how do you prepare a dish for one person.
