Simple Butternut Squash Soup


Description

Make this easy and totally syn-free slimming world butternut squash soup. It's a simple soup recipe that will warm you up in the colder months.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 900g (2 lbs) butternut, peeled and sliced
  • 900ml (1 1/2 pints) Knorr vegetable or chicken stock
  • 30g (1 oz) chives, washed and roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Spray a large saucepan with cooking spray, add the onion and garlic and gently sauté.
  2. When the onion has softened after about 5 minutes, add the butternut and stock and stir well. Bring to the boil. Simmer for 25 minutes or until the butternut is soft.
  3. Blend the soup with a hand-held blender or in a food processor.
  4. Season to taste, serve in four bowls and sprinkle with the herbs.

Notes

  • If you're not on any kind of diet, you can substitute the cooking spray with 15ml (1 tbsp) butter and 15ml (1 tbsp) olive oil, fry the onions and follow the instructions.
  • Your favourite type of bread, buttered, will go down a storm.
  • If you’re vegan, omit the butter and add more oil to the recipe instead.
  • If you’re on a low-fat diet, leave out the oil and butter and use low-fat cooking spray.
  • If you find that you have plenty of butternut squash leftover after, don't worry! You can always freeze it to make this fantastic soup again later, check out my guide on how to freeze butternut squash for more info.
