Butternut squash soup

We have often bought packets of squash soup but never before tried making it from scratch. We were very pleased with the results.

The recipe we found is here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/77981/butternut-squash-soup-ii/

In a generous knob of butter, fry a chopped onion, some celery, carrots, diced potato, and a diced squash. Add enough stock to cover, bring to the boil and simmer until the veg is soft. Blend, and stir in salt and pepper. The result should be a very thick soup.

Departing from the recipe, we then stirred in a generous dash of cream and another knob of butter, and served with bacon bits and grated Parmesan.

  1. Hi Ian - I love butternut - use them quite often here ... and yes I'd probably put some grated cheese on top - but the bacon topping sounds good - cheers Hilary
