JessM Where have you been buying your courgettes? They shouldn't be at all squishy.

Pumpkin (going cheap this week) Carrots. Roast em slowly. Chop and fry onions. Stock cubes (unless you just happen to have chicken stock in the fridge). liquidise. Dilute to taste. I have made this twice recently and DH, who normally screws up his nose at the notion of soup, found it delicious. Planning to buy up pumpkins this week as they do keep well don't they. What the yanks call "winter squash" as opposed to squishy courgette "summer squash"

Soup is one of my favourite things smile I often throw the contents of the veg drawer into a pot with water and a couple of stock cubes just to see what happens. The result is almost always tasty.

Made that the other day Jeni - minus the asparagus and yellow pepper - cooked the old fashioned way in an old saucepan. I added a spoonful of a friend's home made pineapple and onion relish to the mix as well.
Result ........ very delicious.
Unpureed!

Hope you have a good day today.
