Easy Squash Soup

This easy squash soup is as healthy as it is comforting!

 Voted "Best soup ever" by some tough to please 8 year olds.

What you need:

One medium size butternut sqash or similiar such as other acorn squash or zucchini - we still have fresh butternut squashes at the farm store. 

500ml - 1l or water (based on water content of vegetable).

1-2 boullion cubes from the farm store, either vegetable or chicken, or both, one for 500ml of water)

Optional: one medium onion, roughly cubed and sweated in 1 tsp of fat such as oil or butter

What to do:

Sweat onion if using.

Add water, bullion cubes and squash cut into 1 inch cubes.

Boil for 10-15 minutes until squash is completely soft.

Let sit for  few minutes to cool, then blend in blender or with stick blender until very smooth.

Your soup is ready to eat.

Dress it up! For an extra touch of taste, add any of the following to taste: Salt, pepper, tumeric, cumin, coriander, a swirl of full fat cream or a dallop of sour cream, fresh chopped rosemary or thyme, flavoured olive oil or a really nice touch would be a small pinch of smoked salt on top.

Guten Appetit!
