Spiced Sweet Potato & Squash Soup
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.
