    Calypso Butternut Squash Soup,This recipe was developed for RSC. The “heat” is controlled by the amount of peppers you use. Please, remember to remove the peppers from the mix before blending. The habanero chile is the most intensely spicy chile pepper of the Capsicum genus and is used for flavor only.,This was a very intriguing flavor combination! We had a ‘Spring Break’ theme night with my family and I started the meal with this soup. I made it with 2 habanero peppers and everyone thought the heat was just right. I wasn’t able to garnish with the seeds because the 1-1/2 lb squash I bought was apparently too immature to have seeds yet. It might be wise to buy a larger squash and only use part of it. The only question I had was when to add the sugar. I didn’t see it in the directions so I just added it with the oregano and sage. Overall, the reviews were slightly mixed. My husband and I thought it was interesting but probably wouldn’t repeat it. I probably would have liked it better with the added texture of the seeds. However, my mom and dad thought it was fantastic! My dad requested I make a 5 gallon pail of it for him to keep in their freezer. For being so low-fat, my mom thought it had a very rich taste.
