Cucs make a nice cold soup. I would leave them out and call it Butternut and leek soup bulked up with potatoes. Dead catchy that. Alternatively, take the initials and a bit or artistice licence and you can call it Balls Up. Laughing

Well did you do soup? you could always put dried soup mix (peas, barley & lentils) in to add texture. Or pasta.
