Simple butternut squash soup recipe - It's really gourd

I love the taste of butternut squash. It's rich, sweet and has such a velvety texture when turned into soup. This butternut recipe is ideal for a lazy winter's evening. It's really easy to prepare (no arduous squash peeling involved) and is really healthy.

















 Ingredients:
  • 1 large butternut squash
  • 2 red onions
  • 2 vegetable stock cubes
  • salt and pepper
  • olive oil
  • cayenne pepper
















Steps:
  1. Chop the butternut squash (no need to peel) and peeled red onion and place in a baking tray.
  2. Coat in olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
  3. Roast in the oven on Gas mark 7 for about 1hour or until a knife goes through squash easily.
  4. Make up a jug of vegetable stock (1.5 pints approx).
  5. Blend the squash (skin and everything), onion and vegetable stock together.
  6. Add cayenne pepper to taste.

  2. Hope you enjoy it. It's no problem freezing it. It keeps fine. We never have any leftovers to freeze because I gobble it all down too quickly.
