It would have been lovely with some warm, crusty bread. Wish I'd had some. Even without, it was quite tasty and good for a cold night. I altered the recipe a bit: As written, the recipe is really for a soup, not a stew. (Or a stoup, as Rachel Ray would say.) Right at the end, I whipped out my immersion blender and pureed just a bit of the stew, leaving lots of squash chunks but giving the stew a much thicker, stewier consistency. I recommend that modification. Also, I used Israeli couscous, which is bigger than regular couscous. Good stuff.

A Squash in Every Pot
Yesterday's dinner (as promised): butternut squash stew.
