Lentil Soup with Red Squash and Fennel : page 171

An interesting soup, with lentils butternut squash, and fennel (bulb and seeds). I'm not really a fennel person, but this was a good combination.

The recipe says it serves 4-6. As a main course, 3 is more like it.

It's not for weeknights maybe, since it takes about an hour to assemble, but it's easy to do -- there are "spaces" where things are cooking relatively unattended and you can prepare the next bit of the recipes.

Winter Squash and Leek Soup : page 170

A good soup. A bit long in cooking, so not for weeknights (unless made ahead and reheated).
Maybe because it was puréed to smoothness, it didn't seem like a dinner soup. We thought it would be better in a mug, accompanying a sandwich.
Looking forward to the leftovers.
