Soup making tips

If you enjoy soup then these tips could help you.

• Use reduced or yellow sticker vegetables where you can, you wont taste any difference but it will save money.
• If you use a soup maker remember to defrost any frozen vegetables first as it works much more smoothly that way.
• Soup is a great snack on cold winter evenings and could be a good alternative to other comfort foods. If you always make a little extra and freeze some you could have a choice in the freezer every time you need a snack or a bit of warmth.
• Soup is a great way to get extra vegetables into your diet. Why not add a mug of this butternut squash soup to a meal that doesn’t have vegetables in as an alternative to a side portion of vegetables for a change?

Butternut squash tips

If you are put off using a butternut squash because it is hard to peel then these tips could help you out.

• Instead of trying to scoop all the seeds out just cut around them. This is much easier as the stringy seeds can be difficult to remove.
• Cut a butternut squash in half length-ways and microwave for 5 minutes to soften it slightly so it is easier to peel off the skin with a potato peeler.
• Consider leaving the skin on. In some recipes, like this roasted red pepper and butternut squash soup, it really will do no harm to leave the skin on. A chunky soup for example that has been well-cooked can be just as nice with the butternut squash cut into chunks with the skin on.
• If you really don’t want to peel a butternut squash then buy ready cut cubes in the fridge or freezers of the supermarket!
