Roasted butternut squash and apple soup
Background
I just love eating squash in every possible way, so during its season I tend to cook a lot of dishes with it. This roasted butternut squash and apple soup is one of the recipes I make a lot, mainly from leftover roasted squash (I just grill the apple slices quickly). You can follow my example or make it from scratch as below! Serve it with wholesome bread.
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash (about 750g)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 apple (about 100g)
- 1 onion
- 1 sprig of celery stalk
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon all spice or gingerbread spice mixture
- 1 tsp thyme leaves (fresh)
- ½ litre of vegetable stock
- Salt and pepper
- To serve: pumpkin seeds, Greek yogurt (optional),
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Peel the squash, cut it in half, remove the seeds and the soft tissues. Cut the flesh roughly into 3 cm pieces, then scatter them on a baking sheet.
- Peel and core the apple then cut into wedges and add to the squash. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp of oil, season with salt and pepper, then rub them thoroughly.
- Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until soft.
- Meanwhile, chop the onion and celery and sautΓ© them in the remaining oil. Add the spices and stir for 1 minute, then add the roasted pumpkin and apple. Stir for another minute, then pour over the stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Using a blender, process the soup until creamy and silky.
- Serve with pumpkin seeds sprinkled on top and with a spoonful of Greek yoghurt if you like.
