its never to hot for soup, and if by chance it is i just crank the air lol..... I'm a little calorie conscious, so the fact i love soup is a bonus

Actually Miss Thermo, even though I TIC queried your soup habits up there in the hot, we also do have a lot of soup all year round, hubby grew up that way and it is great diet food for him.
Just making this now thanks.

PS: Did you leave out the Pumpkin in error Ta.

I've left the potato skin on when making soups and it's BARELY discernible - it is there, but only because you know it's there.

Well I could not find where I had left my pumpkin.... ROFL.... found it now, so I used potato and capsicum and extra tomato, anyway it was all good can't go too far wrong with soups.
