I made chicken, leek and courgette soup it was lovely, my daughter loves it too. Just bung chopped leeks and courgettes in a pan with spices I used black pepper, garlic, paprika and cumin. Cover with water add a chicken stock cube and simmer. Add chopped cooked chicken once veg has cooked. I took some to work last week in a flask ppl coming into the staffroom wanted to know what the good smell was! 
its good with a dollop of yoghurt or cottage cheese

3 glasses of water,
2 tbsp oatbran (1.5 on attack)
salt to taste..
boil these together, the oatbran makes it creamy..
after cooked serve with lemon and pepper...
it takes only around 10 minutes and a lifesaver..

If you have the book, there is a soup called the "Miracle Soup" or something which I made, I liked it for PV but had to season with thyme and rosemary (or anything you prefer) as there weren't any suggestions in the book! I love chunky soup and you can cute the veg this way!

Hello
There's a great butternut squash and red pepper recipe on my thread 'recipes I love' on the main dukan recipe thread page.
I served this to my while family as the Christmas dinner starter and they all loved it.

Half a butternut squash
A large onion
Three large field mushrooms
Three cloves of garlic

Fighting the bulge
Swede and Carrot Soup
1/2 swede diced
1 onion diced
2 medium carrots diced
2 tbsp mixed herbs/marjoram
Dash of wine vinegar
Salt & Pepper
1 tsp ground corriander (fresh if you have it)
1/2 oxo cube
Tbsp FF yog (for the swirl)
1. Place all of the ingredients (apart from the corriander if fresh and FF yog) in a large pan, cover with water and bring to the boil.
2. Reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes or until soft, you may need to add more water if it becomes dry
3. Add the corriander if fresh then blend until smooth, adding more water until you reach the desired consistency.
4. With a tbsp slowly drizzle FF yog in a circle in the middle. Not only does this look good but it adds a lovely creaminess to the texture.
TIP - Swede cooks quite slowly so dice this as small as you can and leave the carrot in larger chunks so that they soften at the same time.
You can omit the oxo cube however I find this essential for flavour and as the soup will be more than one portion at most you will have a quarter in each bowl.

What a lovely thread - I think you can get in a rut with cooking and it's great to try new ideas. I'll add a couple this evening.
