I just wanted to tell you about the delicious soup I've just made.
Using one of the squashes I harvested last week, a couple of onions which have survived the summer rains and haven't succumbed to rot, half a red pepper I had hanging around in the fridge, some veg stock and some Chinese five spice, I've made soup.
I think some of my friends believe that soup-making takes hours of rendering and boiling, but the whole experience took 30 minutes, and 15 of that was me trying to skin the squash without removing a limb from myself.
The result? A rich, flavoursome, amber coloured soup which reaches down to warm you from the toes upwards. A taste of autumn in a spoon.

Mmmmmm ......... is there any left? I am only down the road :)
I'm being good & saving the rest for work lunches, Anna - trying to be economical and not keep buying sandwiches :)
Plenty more squashes to experiment with though - I'm not sure what herb or spice flavour to try next. The 5 spice was very nice.
I like chuck-it-all-in soups. I think the idea of cooking for ages is a throw back to bones and broth pots.
Unfortunately, I had a craze for five spice a while back and used it so much I can stand the stuff no longer!
