Tasty easy to make butternut squash soup perfect for a healthy easy lunch served with some crusty bread


Ingredients

Scale

1 butternut squash, peeled and deseeded

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tbsp butter

2 onions, diced

1 garlic clove, thinly sliced

2 mild red chillies, deseeded and chopped

850ml vegetable stock

4 tbsp crème Fraiche


Instructions

Heat your oven to 200°C or 180°C for a fan oven. Cut the butternut squash into large cubes and toss in a large roasting tin and a tbsp of olive oil. Roast for 30 minutes, turning once.

Melt 1 tbsp butter with 1 tbsp olive oil in a saucepan, and add the onions, garlic and three-quarters of the chillies. Cover and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes.

Serve with extra swirls of crème Fraiche and the leftover chilli.
