Acorn Squash Soup

I had a acorn squash sitting amongst the onions and potatoes in one of my cabinets and suddenly had an epiphany....I can make soup.  I went online and found the following recipe on allrecipes.com:
Ingredients (for 2 servings)
1/2 Small Onion 
2 Tbs Butter or Margarine
1 Tbs Flour
1/2 Tsp Chicken Bouillon (crushed)
1/4 Tsp dried dill weed
1/8 Tsp curry powder
Dash Cayenne Pepper
1 Cup Chicken Broth
1/2 Can Evaporated Milk
1 1/2 Cup Mashed Acorn Squash
2 1/2 Strips Bacon - Cooked and Crumbled


So here is how it went for me.  First I cut half a large red onion in half and diced it up and cried since this is what onions do to you.  I placed them and the margarine in a pan and cooked the onion until I thought it was good enough.  I then add the flour, bouillon cube (whole since I didn't feel like pounding into powder), dill weed, and curry powder.  I didn't have cayenne pepper so I substituted paprika.  I also added nutmeg because you always have to have nutmeg with squash in my opinion and garlic salt.  With no chicken broth or evaporated milk in the house and no energy to run to the store I used about 2 cups of whole milk.  Brings all this to a boil, cook and stir for 2 minutes (or in my case just let it boil, take off heat, put on heat and repeat as you try to find the parts needed for the next step).  Find your blender or food processor and assemble. While doing this prep squash by placing whole squash in microwave for 5 minutes.  Remove from microwave and cut in half and place one  half back in the microwave and cook for 2-3 minutes.  Repeat with second half.  Scoop pulp from squash without burning yourself to severely and place in a bowl.  Combine squash with soup mixture and heat through.  
Pour mixture into blender or food processor and blend until smooth.  At this point I added one full thing of cream cheese (boxed package).  Blend all until smooth again.  Serve and enjoy.


So I thought it came out a little salty, probably from the over abundance of garlic salt I used.  I thought over all it came out good.....George on the other hand had this to say about it:
