I am putting this up on the thread, because more than me might like to make this

I have been given a pair of squash, and before Merlin comes on and says it, yes they are a right pair.

They look like a couple of UFO's.

Anyway, what I am asking is, do you have a recipe for a favourite soup, for these, possibly including tomatoes.

Many Thanks

Very Busy, today

Hi Julia,
I made some butternut squash soup last autumn. I don't think I wrote up the recipe though. I'll have a look online.

I don't have a recipe specifically for squash but I think I adapted something like a sweet potato recipe.
I've made some from here http://www.cookuk.co.uk/soup-recipes.htm

Many Thanks Island, you're a star.

*Sniffs* - I gave you my squash recipe a while ago Julia. :-\

She must have squashed it Wend :-D

It didn't have tomatoes in it. :-(

Don't worry Wend., it is an age thing. I'll come across it when least expected.
Thank you

Found the thread Julia.

we always bake butternut, acorn, spaghetti squash, etc

1 small squash is enough for the 2 of us if we're feeling greedy :-D :-D


wash the squash, cut in half, and remove the seeds etc.

Put a small amount of water in the bottom of a casserole, and place the squash in the water, cut side UP

put a little salt and pepper into the hollow, and about 1 tbsp maple syrup in each half.


Bake for about an hour at 375F, or until flesh is soft.

Cut each half into half again, lengthwise.

Serve as is, and let the diner scrape out the flesh.

Morning All, Many thanks Wend for the connection. I remember it now.

Thanks you Sylvia in Canada, for your recipe.

And thanks to all the viewers who took the time to look at what the thread was all about.
