Default Converting soup recipe for larger quantities

I have a Thai squash soup recipe that serves 6, but I want to prepare it for approx 50 servings. My question lies with the quantity of squash, the recipe calls for 2 acorn for the 6 servings. If I just math the recipe, it looks like I should use about 16 squash for the 50 servings. Does this sound right? Seems like a lot of squash.

The other primary volume ingredients are coconut milk and water. Thanks for the help.

Sounds right to me, Don't skimp on the old family recipe.

Yes thats what I would do. If you change the quantities it will be different from the original soup.
