As winter draws near and the UK becomes increasingly more arctic-like, the Poorhouse feels inclined to share this (untested) autumnal recipe. As well as it involving essentially just two instructions - and one is "take out a leaf" - it is also confirmed by a 100% genuine Weightwatchers leader that it contains zero points for all you dieters. If anyone does bother to make it, taste reviews are appreciated.
Here we go: Pointless Soup.

Soup
Urgh :)
predictable
Sorry to have upset your stomach. I suppose the way that it was suggested by a Weightwatchers person is enough that I should have realised that drinking the sewage out of Blackpool beach could be preferable in terms of taste.
I don't know what a butternut squash is though, so can't be sure.
Butternut squash
Do you never listen to what I say? Butternut Squash is the vegetable that looks like an enormous p*nis! See http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/detail/F12401b.jpg
Sometimes I listen...
...but I swear everytime I don't know what a vegetable is it turns out to be that bizaare afront-to-humanity one. I can't remember hearing the word Butternut before - are there other squashes? Do they also look obscene?
For anyone lazy, here is Laura's pic.
Ummm
I think Jim has a few things to answer for if you are under that impression :)
Non vegetarians can
Non vegetarians can sometimes get amazed by the varieties of vegetables. Butternut squash are mostly fed to babies once they are into solids, in fact most women start liking this squash after becoming moms. It has a very fine texture and is very soft to eat. I've not tried soups with butternut but prefers it baked with some strokes of butter, I just scoop out and have it tastes awesome. The "pointless soup"... I think I'll try making this soup which have such an odd name but I don't like turnip that much so I'll substitute it with something else.
