Help -butternut squash soup

mrs_flipper

Hi

This is my first post on this board, although I have been trying to follow some of your tips for a while.

Yesterday i decided to make some butternut squash soup. When I made it it was really nice, so I thought I would let some cool and put it in the fridge and have it for lunch at work today.

I warmed it up and what was a nice thick soup is now a runny mess - what did I do wrong?

Thanks

I freeze and refridgerate butternut squash soup often and haven't had this happen. Silly question, maybe, but did you use all of it or is there some left and did you stir it first? (I'm wondering if maybe the thicker part of the soup was left at the bottom of the container?)

I drain and rinse a tin of chick peas to add to my squash soup (and blend.) It might be worth trying that to thicken it if it happens again?

I used all of it - i had just put what was left in a small tub to bring to work. I did stir it as well.

I dont know but I will keep trying, perhaps i over did it with the blender.

It was my first attempt.

Thanks for your reply.

Red Lentils are also excellent for thickening soup.
And they are excellent for you!

a small potato mashed also thickens soups/curries
