Pureed soup is great for background flavors in my opinion...so I'd definitely roast the Butternut squash with some olive oil, salt and pepper to bring an extra layer of flavor in this recipe. I personally love texture in my soups and think leaving the potatoes finely diced, adding a touch of grated ginger, and freshly minced chives would make this soup shine more than I'm sure it already does.

My first time to try a recipe from this site. Soup was good, but lacking in flavor. The sage was a good addition, but it did not enhance the flavor of the butternut squash, but hid it. But then, maybe butternut squash has no flavor of it's own. Also my first time to try butternut squash.
