There's some little squashes in there somewhere 🎃 #gyo #kitchengarden

Oh yes, it was worth it 😋🎃 #bemorelikecharlotte #gyo #kitchengarden

That looks delicious 😋

#recipe please 😁

What a pretty squash.

Did you ever doubt it, @churchfarmgarden ?

There was literally no skill involved Christine, just the one big squash, one onion, pepper and herbs all sweated down then two chicken stock cubes in the added water, simmer for a bit and blitz it. It made four servings for the two of us @vegandmore

Thanks 🙏

Have you ever roasted the seeds as you would pumpkin seeds?? They are delicious and would be a lovely crunch on top of your soup!

Thanks Kari no I haven't but I did save the seeds so will try it 😍👍 @KariSamuel

Oh yes, it was worth it 😋🎃 #bemorelikecharlotte #gyo #kitchengarden

I grew quite a few squashes this year and intend to grow even more next year. Although this is going to be a challenge to peel, looking forward to having it as soup for lunch and #bemorelikecharlotte #gyo #kitchengarden 🎃

It's almost too pretty to eat

Yum. I love squash soup. If you cut it up into smallish chunks and roast it you don't need to peel it - just remove the seeds.

So decorative too nice to eat…..😃

It looks too beautiful to cut up 😁

I did grow some smaller ones @charlotte which I roast whole and then the peel comes off easily - I did this one the hard way but it has made some delicious soup, it's really warmed us up 😋

A lovely friend gave me some seeds of various squashes and I'm really pleased with the results 🎃 #kitchengarden

I had success this year too 🙂

I don't normally grow any Charlotte but they've been very good. My friend says you can roast the small ones whole, have you tried that? @charlotte

I have roasted them before , but never whole.

I baked the one bottom right @charlotte whole with its skin on and it was delicious 👍

I'll have to try that with my smaller squash . The mutant one I'll have to cut up.
