Yellow Squash and Red Pepper soup + a successful charity shop shop.

Yellow Squash and Red Pepper Soup.

I spent a few days in Glasgow this week. Shopping for a dress. And practicing music for a wedding. I stayed at a friends who lives outside Glasgow a little in the beautiful hills. It is very peaceful there and I do enjoy visiting. My friend had acquired a large 'Yellow Squash' but were not to this day sure if thats what they're called, and even after googling it I'm still not sure. So lets call it a Yellow Squash. My friend suggested that we make soup with it so we did! 

We used;

1 Large Yellow Squash Roasted (make sure you take the skin off, we didn't and ended up having to sieve the soup as the skin didn't blend)

1 1/2 White Onion

1 1/2 Red Pepper Roasted

2 Carrots

Vegetable or Chicken Stock

4 Cloves of Garlic

Salt

Curry Powder

Butter

Olive Oil

This turned out sooooo delicious and I think a lot of that has to do with roasting the Squash and Red Pepper, so do that first while the carrot, onion and garlic are frying together in some butter. Pretty much just add everything together and it all cooks together nicely. You can add as much or as little stock as you like, we added quite a bit of stock as we both like it tasty! I can't remember how much exactly it was though! 

Blend it up when all the veg is soft, then as we did, have some oatcakes and cheese to compliment...oh and a dash of cream on the top!

I also went on a little trip today down the Ferry and found some really wonderful things. My favourite, a vintage pair of cartier heels. Unfortunately they are too big so I am going to try sell them on eBay along with these other things below. It was a good day for finding little bits and bobs.
