Literally like icing on a cake fine but crunchy under foot. <br /><br />BB I think I was past being embarrassed, which paradoxically is perhaps why it turned out alright.<br /><br />Crow: The pleasure of clean-out-the cupboard soup is the creative process at work - daring something strange- adding- tasting - adding something new. Theonly problem is that while you can add you cannot really take away.<br /><br />A W I use butternut squash a lot. Cut into chunks and roasted it can be used, I find in risottos, cold in salad and yes,certainly in soup. Its most attractive quality is the way it caramelises when roasted. Its flavours concdentrate and it becomes a sort of vegetable toffee.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972049290586377462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-28504721513075529892009-12-20T11:03:06.644+00:002009-12-20T11:03:06.644+00:00A very warming post all round, love those snow fig...A very warming post all round, love those snow figures, and always appreciate how people like to put on red!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-42238030882118331552009-12-19T18:27:28.640+00:002009-12-19T18:27:28.640+00:00Chunkily chopped up butternut squash adds a lovely...Chunkily chopped up butternut squash adds a lovely sweetish flavour to soup. I also make gravy with all the vegetables to start with, then strain it and serve the veg separately. <br />I'm envious of your snow. we only have the barest smattering in Manchester; not enough to sledge or ski.<br />If I sat opposite you on a train, I'm sure I could not resist starting up a conversation. My husband and children are sometimes slightly embarassed, but admit that I have some fascinating encounters by breaking the ice!Alison Wormaldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13609842.post-49894862322252466742009-12-19T18:13:45.823+00:002009-12-19T18:13:45.823+00:00Snow is almost knee-deep here and still falling. ...Snow is almost knee-deep here and still falling. I'm following your lead and making soup, too. Haven't decided just what kind yet, but I'm sure it will be tasty.
