Dexterdog's mushroom soup
Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped 3 tbsp butter 454g mushrooms, cleaned and sliced 3 tbsp flour 1/2pt milk mixed with a carton of double cream salt and pepper parsley to garnish Gently cook the onion in the butter until soft, not browned and then add the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook gently for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and add the flour, stirring well. Add the milk and cream mixture and mix throughly. Return to the heat and bring to the boil. Simer gently for around 10 - 15 minutes or until the mushrooms are cooked. Blend until smooth in a liquidiser and season to taste. Serve with hot, crispy croutons and garnish with the parsley. I also like to add a knob of butter towards the end of cooking to add even more flavour. There will be a film of butter on the top of the soup. You can also make this soup more chunky by not liquidising for as long. Serve with lots of chunky, crispy bread and butter. Enjoy! Dexterdog

Butternut Squash Soup
I take no credit for this recipe as it was given to me by a friend, but its lovely and really simple to make.
Chunks of squash roasted until tender and beginning to brown. Couple of spuds Chicken stock Onion or a couple of shallots Couple cloves garlic Salt/pepper Smoked paprika While roasting the squash, cook the spuds, onion/shallots and garlic in the stock. When all veg is tender, put squash, spuds and stock in a blender and blitz till smooth. Place back on hob on gentle heat and season to taste with the salt, pepper and paprika. Really nice with fresh bread and cheese.
