Sounds weird but I bet it's good! I gotta try that!
Will~ "Nunya B." wrote in message ... I've also done cinnamon and nutmeg in the butternut squash soup. It's a mainstay for the cold weather but I'm thinking it would also taste ok as a cold soup - though I prefer gazpachos and cucumber soup in the warm weather. -- the volleyballchick "Kate Dicey" wrote in message ...

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.

good luck, Lee
Kate Dicey wrote in message ... After 3 weeks of either guests or being away, I have not been as good with the points and things as usual, and I'm down on the exercise. The gentlemen of the family are off to Scout camp this weekend, and I'm free to swim! So I planned the menus, and I'm trying hard to stay on plan and on points: I'm so close to goal! But I do keep getting attacks of the nibbles... So I bought a big bag of carrots and have salad stuff in, and I made a big pot of butternut soup for colder moments. I might5t also make some carrot and correander soup just to ring the changes now and again... -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

wonderful food Lee
Kate Dicey wrote in message ... Wayne Boatwright wrote: Excellent! I added another half point for the Greek Yog based dressing I put on the potatoes to turn them into potato salad at the request of my lads. I also had a Tesco Healthy Living bar for 1.5 points, and a mug of low fat etc. hot chocolate for another 1.5. Makes a total for the day of 18 - my allowance. I shall save the earned and left-over point for another time, and have a small bowl of zero point soup before heading for bed... So today has worked as well! If I don't lose this week I shall be fine with that. I'm just hoping that the weekend won't have meant I gained much... I've got until 7:30 pm on Thursday! -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

Spinach in soup is really good! Especially a good spinach tomato soup.
