to give my family pumpkin soup for their dinner?

[soupisgoodfood]

The pumpkin soup turned out almost edible quite well this year. Will serve with nice crusty bread and real butter.

Kids might eat it (except for youngest who's a fussarse like his dad.)

Husband will complain and end up making himself cheese on toast later, he reckons soup isn't food, it's just lumpy coffee.

AIBU? I can't be bothered actually cooking anything and the soup is all made and ready to go.

of course soup is a meal!
especially served with bread and butter.

although, you could go extra and grill some of the crusty bread with grated cheese on - make it quite gourmet.

DH always likes cheese sandwiches with soup when it's served as dinner. Give them some cheese on toast to accompany. I'd be hungry after just soup.

Tomato soup with a cheese toastie is amazing, in fact I really want one now.

Pumpkin soup for us tonight too. Everyone will complain but I don't care much.

Home grown pumpkins!

DDs are currently eating pumpkin and celebration squash and red pepper soup. They are both a bit soup obsessed, they are having bread and butter and glasses of milk with it and the soup itself has lots of red lentils.

Soup is a meal!

Uproar? Not proper food? Seriously??

If DP complained about what he got for dinner he would get a poke in the eye.

Gherkins, that is my favourite too!

Pumpkin soup is so yum as well. Lucky OP's family. I think soup and toasties are a perfect dinner combo.

OOH I so want Tomato soup with cheese on toast for dinner now.

A bit of a thread creep. Got the Covent Garden soup book. If you have used it, do you recommend any particular soup? Right now I am just browsing through it and feeling good:)

Am having lentil and bacon soup Chez FancyShandy tonight. No crusty bread (carbs are the devil ) but I'm single / no kids so no-one else to please. Yum!

Soup and bread is a meal and if your dh is hungry after he can darn well eat another bowl..

i wouldn't class it as dinner, but my break is at 9:30 then i don't eat till 5ish...by them i could eat a scabby horse.

Is it char-grilled?

We have 2 lovely pumpkins all ready to make soup - apart from a little light charring on the inside. They'd never notice would they?

YANBU I love pumpkin soup! Your family is lucky to have such a good cook making homemade soup.

There would be moans here about soup as the main meal of the day.

But I made Delias pumpkin soup for lunch on saturday - was delicious.

As the vote is split I'm going to make husband an omelette or something instead (don't want to get into the debate whether an omelette is a suitable meal though, already had that one with MIL thanks )

Kids wolfed the soup down, even the fussarse!
Might start a new Halloween tradition actually, a la turkey sandwiches on Boxing Day

Instead or in addition to the soup? Soup and omelette would be my perfect dinner (after soup and toasties)

Probably instead of, not worth the argument if I have to make something else anyway.

He's his father's son, is all I'm saying

It's fine. I love soup! I usually add some rice, noodles or pasta to make it even more filling. I had homemade tomato soup with pasta and melted cheese for lunch. It was delish!

Me and my boys have just had soup for tea. They love it. Hubby is away so I can get away with a easy dish

we had pumkin soup yesterday for dinner with walnut bread and apple crumble for pud. It was def a full meal!

Soup is the work of the devil, it isnt food, it is something to wash down the sink while waiting for cheese on toast to grill.

YABU

Yanbu, dc had carrot soup and bread for tea. They get a big meal at school so soup is perfect for them.
