It is busy roasting in the oven. The recipe says skin off but I'm sure I have seen somewhere you can leave it on. What do you think?0

leave it on, melts away when you blitz it and is all extra fibre to fill you up

Fab! That is great. I was hoping that was the case as it seems a waste to chuck it out!0 -
Wow. Thanks for that. I didn't know you could use the skin.Father Ted: Now concentrate this time, Dougal. These
(he points to some plastic cows on the table) are very small; those (pointing at some cows out of the window) are far away...:D:D0 -
Nigella's recipe (in her christmas book) keeps the skin on while roasting and is utterly delicious! Makes preparing the squash so easy, too.0

Does she then blitz it or scrape out the squash?
I've always taken it off but I find it really hard work so leaving it on sounds much more appealing!Piglet

Quite glad I asked now, it looks it will save a few people time and effort. I can also confirm that the soup is lovely.0
