Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup

There's nothing like a good warming soup in these days of super cold weather, you come home after a long day and want to eat something nurturing but easy to make, that's when this recipe comes to the rescue, a delicious butternut squash soup with carrots and some other veggies that will give a lot of flavor to the mix. What I love about this recipe is that apart from the butternut squash it only requires stuff that you often have in your kitchen, and you can also change the ingredients as you please.

 

 For This Recipe You Will Need:

-1 Butternut Squash

-2 Big Carrots

-1/2 Red Bell Pepper

-1 Onion

-5 Garlic Cloves

-Salt & pepper for seasoning

-Coriander to decorate

1 Start heating 2 liters of water in a large pot until boiling point, add the butternut Squash, carrots, bell pepper, onion and garlic; all chopped roughly, (you don’t have to be neat because we are going to blend it at the end) also add salt and pepper to taste.

When the butternut squash and carrots are tender, turn off the heat.

2  In a blender, first add  the vegetables with 1 or 2 cups of the stock, depends on how thick you want your soup to be, and repeat until all the veggies are blended.

Note: you're going to be left with what it seems like a lot of stock, but don't worry, you can save it and make a risotto with it, I'll try and post the recipe soon!

3 Serve and decorate with some coriander leaves, voilà I told you it was easy !
