Thanks Denise and Cookie.
Yes, maybe even eggplant. They are all of similar texture and very subtle flavour. This soup was great for abundance of produce that I received recently. It grows well this time of year up here, and the yellow squash I got given was enormous, almost pumpkin sized! I should have taken a photo of it.

Hi all! The sumac is the winner in this recipe, it really give it a fresh tangy flavour. I think this soup would also work well with zucchini. Makes: 4 servings Ingredients 600g yellow squash, chopped 2 cloves garlic 20g olive oil 600g chicken stock 2 tsp sumac powder 2 tsp salt 1 tsp dried parsley (or handful of fresh) Fresh chives to serve, optional Method Add squash and garlic to Thermomix: 3 sec, speed 5 Add olive oil : 7 min, varoma temp, speed 1 (MC off) Add remaining ingredients: 10 min, 100 deg, speed 1 (MC on) 30 sec, speed 8 or until smooth NotesAdjust salt to suit taste, I used 2 tsp because I use homemade stock which isn't salty Would work well with any type of stock (eg beef or vegetable) Photo: http://www.sliceofhealth.com.au/thermomix-recipes/thermomix-yellow-squash-soup

That's great Katj, yes I find I only need a couple. I'm the only one who eats these (as DH has separate chocky ones) so a batch will often last me a couple of weeks.

Thanks Cookie and Denise Hi Cookie, go with the tablespoon measure, my scales showed 10g when I added it. I'll adjust the recipe actually, thanks I've found that the times I've used the scales for such a small measure it can easily be too sticky

Thanks all, yes it's a really easy/good one for all types of variations using what you have on hand. I usually make this once a week.

Thanks so much all  Thermilover I love kale chips too, I normally find it a bit rough in texture raw, but Thermomix fixes that of course. Also great as a 'hand massaged' salad, you literally massage the leaves with dressing and it's really nice. Cookie, have you tried it steamed? That's the probably easiest way to start with kale, it's sort of like spinach.

Yes sky is the limit with different flavours, pureed fruits, fruit juices (eg lemon/lime), different milks, chocolate, coffee etc. Must try my agar agar when I get a chance, I would also like to create a vegetarian option.
