Help....leftover butternut squash soup, can I turn it into a proper meal by 4.45?

[OrangeSunset]

Just that, really.

Butternut squash and red lentil soup. Quite thick, more like a puree.

Need to use it up, how can I jazz it up to make it more like a full meal for DC by 4.45??

Have all the usual staples, avocado.....

Creative cooks, please help!

Could it be risotto'd?

use it as a pasta sauce. would be nice with bacon or sausage and some fennel seeds.

Add tomatoes and any other veg or mince and layer into a lasagne?

Top with croutons, and serve along with ham and cheese toasties.

I was thinking about a risotto as we had pasta yesterday. So just stir it in a regular risotto base?

Make a bit of bechamel sauce and then use the butternut purée inbetween layers of lasagne, top with bechamel and grated cheese.

I'd be boring and have it with some kind of bread and a salad

Add spices and all the other vegetables you need to use up, to make a vegetable curry with it, serve it with rice.

maybe too late now.....but i fried up onions and patacks korma curry paste and added the soup (as i didn't like it much) and cooked chicken. my family said its the best curry i've ever made...it was a sort of healthy korma....creamy but no cream. And i make a lot of currys

DUMPLINGS!

and Lea & Perrins sauce.

100 g (4 oz) Self-Raising Flour
50 g (2 oz) Atora Original or Vegetable Suet
(½ tsp) salt and big pinch of mixed herbs
cold water to mix

Mix flour, suet and salt with sufficient water to form a firm but soft dough. Divide into 6 or 8 pieces, drop into bubbling stew 20 minutes before the end of the cooking time. I usually steam mine in a steamer and they come out like big fluffy pillows.

OK it's Friday now
