Background

This Spiced Sweet Potato & Squash Soup is a perfect autumn or winter warmer - just right for Bonfire Night or Halloween! I use my pressure cooker for this recipe - if you've not got one, use a heavy based casserole then, after adding Stage 2 ingredients, bring to the boil and simmer for about 35 minutes.

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil
Stage 1: 1 red onion
3 cloves garlic
1 apple
small bunch fresh parsley
2 cm fresh ginger
1 tsp paprika powder
1 tsp cumin
½ tsp cayenne
½ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
Stage 2: 500g sweet potatoes
1 medium butternut squash
500g carrots
1 litre vegetable stock

Instructions

Peal & finely chop the onion & garlic.
Heat the oil in the pressure cooker then add all the Stage 1 ingredients. Mix well together and cook for about 5 minutes over a low heat - stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile peel & roughly chop the squash, sweet potatoes and carrots.
Add all the Stage 2 ingredients and stir well to cover with the liquid. Put on the lid, bring up to pressure & cook for 10 minutes.
Allow to the pressure cooker to cool by itself then remove lid. Use a blender to create a potage and serve with crusty bread.
