    Hi windy

    It is dead easy but I don't really have any quantities worked out as I chuck things in as I go along. I'll try to guess the right quantities.

    There is a quick way to make it and a very quick way to make it. [​IMG]

    Very quick way:-
    Chop up about 1lb of butternut squash and only just cover with boiling water. Boil for about 10 minutes (until soft). Chuck in a tin of chick peas and boil for another couple of minutes. Add stock granules or cube (granules are easier for adjusting quantity) and boil for another couple of minutes. Then add a 14oz tin of coconut milk. Boil for another two minutes, taste and adjust seasoning then liquidise. If you have a hand held liquidiser then do it in the saucepan and adjust seasoning after liquidising. You now have a tasty thick soup and can top it with anything you want - parsley, swirl of cream, chopped toasted nuts or seeds, or even some bits of chopped dates :eek: .

    The quick way - which only takes a little longer - is to fry off a leek or onion whilst the squash is boiling then add it to the soup with the other ingredients. You could even make some of the onion/leek bits crispy and top the soup with it.

    I usually use chicken stock unless cooking for veggies.

    You can use the same method for lots of soups.
    Broccoli and coconut milk (with stock cube)- just those ingredients and nothing else is fine. Don't boil the broccoli for too long and you will get a lovely green soup.
    Mushrooms go well with coconut milk instead of cows milk or cream.

    Enjoy :D [​IMG]

    Shiney,I don't want anything other than Topside,no ribs.I am not a flintstone :D [​IMG] and I make really nice crispy roast spuds all fluffy after draining off the water and giving them a good shake in the saucepan,and the vegetables especially the carrots and parsnips must be just slightly hard,none of that soggy boiled to death stuff,not that I am fussy or anything,oh and one other thing only Cornish Ice cream will do none of that splodgy cheap rubbish..now I am being fussy,and I hope you have some serviettes or if I was posh which I ain't I would say napkins :D [​IMG]

    Good morning one and all. There are all too many words for me to read yet ... I'll have to come back later to digest it all! :D

    It's sunny / cloudy here but a nice start to the day.

    Have a good one in all you do.

    You all have made me hungry, think I will go and eat the lunch left-overs - veggie hot pie (tastes good cold too) and some fish, if Gato lets me have a bit.
