Butternut squash soup
Butternut squash soup is what I call healthy comfort food. The texture of this soup is velvety, the taste nutty, children love it, yet there is hardly anything more healthy to eat!
Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash or red kuri squash/ onion squash
- 1 l litre water
- nutmeg
- milk optional
- crème fraîche optional
- salt pepper (to taste)
Instructions
-
Peel, cut, seed and dice your squash into roughly 1cm3 cubes.
-
Put all the cubes in a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to a gentle boil.
-
Allow the squash to cook for about 20 minutes until the flesh is tender.
-
Drain your squash reserving the cooking water. Mix your squash slowly adding the cooking water to get to your desired soup consistency.
