Spicey Butternut Squash soup...
My WW leader brought in a sample pot of soup this week. It was so nice
i made a double batch! Oddly enough, it's almost all gone... For those in the UK, it comes from the new 'Low Point to No Point' recipe book by Joy Skipper, which also has lots of other good things in. Low fat cooking spray 1 onion, chopped 400g/14oz butternut squash, peeled, de-seeded, and chopped 2 teaspoons of ground cumin 850ml/1 1/2 pints(20 fl oz) vegetable stock salt and pepper Spray a medium saucepan with the low fat cooking spray, and sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until it begins to soften Add the butternut squash and cumin and stir well. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil. Simmer for 18-20 minutes until the butternut squash is tender. Remove from the heat and blend in a food processor or with a hand blender. Check the seasoning and serve. This is a NO POINT soup - we had it for lunch, with bagels for stodge, and it is lovely. My son thought it was the best soup ever made by me (and he's used to good home made soups!), and the DH had two large bowlfuls! -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Spicey Butternut Squash soup...
Hi Kate,
Just curious. Butternut squash is 1 point for one cup. Are the servings less than this?

Mmmmm, sounds great!
I just had butternut squash myself tonight. I made Jamie Oliver's "Pumpkin Hamilton", which is a butternut squash filled with rice, sundried tomatoes and wild mushrooms. It was delicious and very low in points. Let me know if anyone wants the recipe! -- Nathalie from Belgium 134.1/103.1/minigoal 102.3 Goal 68 Kg 295.6/227.3/minigoal 225.6/Goal 150 pounds NYNY 227.3/227.3/214 "Kate Dicey" wrote in message ...

Has 50 calories, almost no fat, and plenty of fibre per serving. This quantity will do 4 servings, according to the book. -- Kate XXXXXX Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.diceyhome.free-online.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

I always find it interesting that some places list a veggie as 0 points and
some as 1 point. The vegetables must be the same...it's odd that WW doesn't have a Worldwide standard.

I just put this recipe through Mastercook, figuring it would be about 4
servings and came up with 150 cals, 3g fat, 4g fibre (2 points) (most of the calories are coming from the vegetable broth)???. Substituted lowfat chicken broth for the vegetable broth and came up with 67 cals, 1g fat, 2g fibre (1 point). Go figure! Anyway Kate, it looks good, so I'll try it someday.

We usually just bake them for an hour and add a tiny amount of butter at the end. The yellow "spaghetti" squash are the nicest we've found so far. Do you like Jamie Oliver recipies then?

I do ! I don't really like his TV-shows, I never watch them. But his
cookbooks are great. Easy but original recipes, fun to read, and great pictures. (When I can't have the food, I like reading about it and looking at pictures of it - lol!) I 'll post the Pumpkin recipe tonight, OK? (I 'm in a bit of a hurry now, woke up at 11.00 which is extremely rare for me, and I have to be at a brunch in 30 minutes, and I 'm still in my pyjamas...) -- Nathalie from Belgium 134.1/103.1/minigoal 102.3 Goal 68 Kg 295.6/227.3/minigoal 225.6/Goal 150 pounds NYNY 227.3/227.3/214 "ray miller" wrote in message ...

Check your mail. I think I've sublimated eating food into shopping for it I've got a pumpkin in the fridge waiting for something more interesting than fried pumpkin with bacon and mushrooms (nice though that is).

The book says 4 servings, but I liked it so much I had two bows for lunch! Are you looking at KCALs or KJ's? The way I did it, there were about 2 sprays of the spray oil for sauteing the onions, amounting to 2 calories, about 1g of fat from the stock cubes I used, and that was the whole fat content. Nothing like as much as 3g in the whole lot, never mind per serving. You could cut the fat content to nothing by using home made veg stock (just save any cooking water from the vegetables served with meals) and not frying the onion, but that does lessen the flavour somewhat. I get very puzzled at the differences we show in the points values of some things. It appears that the points are there in some US veggies, but not here in ours, and that there are fewer points in other things than we count... We are probably safest taking any shared recipe and recalculating the points according to the system we use, and then fitting it in to a meal plan. Another funny thing: I had two different lots of bagels, one was the supermarket's own brand, and the other was a bad of New York Bagel Company ones. The supermarket own brand ones (with herbs and onions in!) worked out at 3 points each, which agreed with the food list in the handbook. The NYBC's worked out at 4 points each!
