The soup was great but way too HOT and we like spicy food. I had to make another batch without the peppers to tone down the heat and it still was hot but easier to eat.

There is heat from the peppers, but I think it adds great dimension to the soup. My husband usually avoids squash (in any form) and ate this because it was spicy and not bland. Pefect soup for chilly fall/winter weather and it makes a lot, perfect for a party or for leftovers.

SO HOT!! I only let the 2 peppers simmer with the broth, then took them out and it was still firery hot! I will omit the peppers altogether next time and maybe throw in a few red pepper flakes instead.
