Autumn soup

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.

175g Turnip
175g Butternut Squash
175g Carrot
1 Onion
1 Garlic Clove (Optional)
2 Small Leeks
600 ml Vegetable Stock
1 Bay Leaf

Cook ingredients for 20 mins, or longer if you want softer veg.

Remove Bay Leaf

Blend and season as required.

EAT

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 :)
