Reminds me looking around in ollies outlet. Lots of bargains. Last summer
bought refrigerant at $7 . $15-$20 elsewhere.

True with home made anything. One of these days, I'll try making my own.

Good news -- it's so simple, you can do it while stoned.

LOL! George....in 3 minutes you've mentioned getting stoned (referring to
me). Sorry to burst your theory but the last time I got stoned was
June-July 1979...right after my daughter was born. I was tired of it by
then plus I figured an illegal activity was not cool anymore with a young
child in the house. I've never missed it. I was over it.

Remember that you need to keep the stream of oil to a drizzle, or else
you'll make a thick liquid.

I hadn't used my blender for quite a while but then was using it
to make gazpacho this summer. I decided to try using almonds
instead of bread to give it more substance, and that worked out
well enough for me to do it quite a few times. I am not even
missing my homemade croutons too much.

Any secrets to your formula?

Maybe the secret is that I don't really use a recipe. I satrt off
sauteeing onion, celery, carrot, some red pepper and a couple cloves of
garlic. If there is leftover roasted squash I throw that in. If not, I
peel seed and chop a butternut squash. Season with slat and pepper and
add some hot curry powder. Then I add a bay leaf or three and about a
liter of chicken stalk and let it simmer for about 45 minutes. Whizz it
up with the stick blender.

To serve, heat up the soup and add some heavy cream or add a dollop of
sour cream or yogurt.

That's enough of a clue. Thanks.
