First World Problems

I ordered a soup mix from Tesco.  It's the Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Mix with red onions and chilli.  It's very pleasant and as I bought three and the offer was three for the price of two, I got three lots of the soup that comfortably feeds all of us for £3.20 instead of £4.80.  Some could be cooked up for us to eat on Friday and the rest could be frozen in the new boxes from IKEA for emergency meals.  It's a really nice mix.  All you need to do is add stock, cook, liquidise and serve, although I also add a handful of lentils.  I know it's a lazy way of cooking but I loathe preparing butternut squash with a passion, and I have come second to them far too many times.  I'm not very strong and my knives are far from good quality so if I can get butternut squash ready prepared then I do.  I have a bag of butternut squash chunks in the freezer.  Unfortunately Tesco had run out of the mix today so when the delivery came, instead of the nice bag of neatly diced and prepared veggies, I got this.

In the badly taken picture are three butternut squash, three large red onions, a small pack of Tesco finest bird's eye chillies and a bag of sweet potatoes.  It's better value, I know but I'm going to have fight with the squash.  Did I mention that I fail at peeling it.  Chunks fly everywhere. 

Joking around aside, I'm impressed that this is the substitution Tesco made, and all credit to them.  Also, the left over sweet potato and chilli can go in with some lentils, carrot and parsnip and I'll have further supplies of home made soup.  It really isn't the worst problem I could have.
