First soup of the winter

Oh no, I can't. I was going to do something to the last word in your post, but I'll leave it to the reader's imagination.

You filthy man!
Will definitely try the chillis but its a pretty nice combo as it is. And I'm down to my last squash... what a dilemma

My very favourite is her stilton and leek soup. Found it to be excellent for lining the stomach before a long ale session. Can drink all night without becoming a problem if I've had a bowl of that.

Good call - that'll be my next one!

I remember making a red pepper and bean soup once but I can't remember the detail if there was any.

Love the idea of cumin and ginger with butternut squash. That would make a change from my usual version with garlic. I also love carrot and cumin.

It is really tasty. You grate the ginger so that you get lots of juice - helps with the flavour.

I made carrot and coriander soup yesterday with the homemade stock from our Sunday roast chicken. Delicious.
Today I'm off to get all the ingredients for a slow cooked beef stew.

I have soup every day for lunch it's not home made well it's not worth making it just for one

Why not? I make a batch and freeze loads of portions.

Just finished off a rather nice chorizo, chickpea and spinach soup the good woman made yesterday. Just the job after getting soaked on the commute home

Excellent, any chance of a quick outline of the recipe.


Cheese and leek is my favorite at the moment.

We've got the last of the butternut squash we grew to make into a soup. it's just yum with a spot of ginger and cumin

My butternut squashes still aren't ready!

If you have it every day you might as well make a nice pan up on Sunday and just reheat portions through the week?

Has the foliage not died down yet? We've been using them since August and I now have about twenty in the shed.

Nope. The plants don't look unhealthy either. It's all very odd.

I was using them from September last year!

I'm still picking tomatoes from the greenhouse. Little yellow ones and raspberries until last weekend.

Yep, it tastes better after it's been in the pot for a day or two and the freezer gets used to full advantage in this household.
