As the cold nights draw in, out come my soup pans and with them the need to eat deliciously warming soups. I tend to start with the 10 minutes of effort ‘for a really lick my plate clean’ soups. And this roasted butternut squash soup, made even creamier with coconut and warmed up with cardamom and ginger is a huge favourite. A mish mash of my favourite things really.
It is a healthy recipe that does not sacrifice on taste. Roasting the butternut squash makes a difference. The flavour is deeper and sweeter and complements the spices very well. You can avoid peeling the butternut squash by just cutting it in half, scooping out the seeds and roast it whole. It is easy to tailor this soup with various different spices and vegetables. If you prefer your soup thinner then add in more stock and if you like it thicker then add in a little bit less. To please meat eaters feel free to top with some crispy pancetta.
This is an easy autumn or winter soup that tastes good at any time of the year and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. So here is my roasted butternut squash soup recipe and don’t forget to leave me a comment to tell me what you think.
