That's our family's favourite too. It's usually referred to as Christmas Soup here, because that tends to be the only time I make it, as a starter for Christmas dinner. But thinking about it, especially as I have all the ingredients to hand.......
Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.
Squash & Lentil soup with chilli and fennel seeds
I made this over the weekend, and although I overdid it with the chilli a bit (and ended up using some creme fraiche to make it a better colour) it was lovely - highly recommended!!
I love all soups, especially this time of year. Just finished a mug of this weeks - spinach with corriander, cumin and chilli. Last week it was leek and tattie, week before roasted spicey squash and sweet potato. Am definately going to try the squash and lentil OWG, and the Morrocan Chickpea VB. One reason to like the cooling of the season - soup!

do you have a recipe or link for the squash and kumara(sweet pots) soup?
i made my first ever soup on fri night.... squash and kumara, from a Nigella recipe, and it was jolly nice....so i'm thinking roasting them 1st would make it even lovelier!. i'm not a soup person, but i'm working on it!!...basically i eat tomato soup without lumps!.
I made Curried Parsnip Soup from a recipe on her last winter/spring, and have to say it was probably the best soup I've tasted! My DH is an absolute whizz at soups and even he gave it 11/10! High praise indeed from an ex-Chef!
My only complaint was that it didn't freeze well, but that may have been sommat I did.
I like smooth soups, no bits, probably because my Mum would use lumpy soup to try and get us to eat stuff we didn't like, whereas, had she liquidised it, she'd probably have succeeded!
My DH made some roasted Tomato soup a few weeks ago and it was soooo yummy!
mmmm.....thanks, that does sound nice, and i'd imagine it'd smell yum as well as it cooked in the oven!.
it's only taken about 40yrs, but i think i might finally be liking soup, thanks to the reasons Glutton mentioned in her post.....lumpy soggy stewed veges *insert green smillie!

Hey kiwirach - basically just roast off the squash and kumara (new word for me!), then fry off an onion with some curry powder (make your own or use a ready made on - as hot as you like it), add the veggie, fry off a bit more stirring in the flavours...then bung in some stock, cook for a bit, blend, scoff!! I don't really do recipes so sorry if it's a bit vague......
curried parsnip and leek & potato are my faves. Would like the pumpkin soup recipe, I have a 17kg pumpkin sat on the side in the kitchen just waiting to be beautified! Thought I might have a go at the Dobbies lovely pumpkin pie too.
Imagination is everything, it is a preview of what is to become.
Well I've never scrolled this far down before, always went straight to Vegging out. Didnt know what I was missing here. I LOVE soup too. My fav soup is the Moroccan. OH is not so keen prefers good old Leek and Potato not that there is anything wrong with that of course - he's just not that exotic!
