Consistently blows my mind. The soup itself is like 4 ingredients and is far greater than the sum of its parts. Ive made this with just chicken stock, olive oil, onion, and squash and it was still excellent.
My flatmate made a version for me once when my wisdom tooth was taken out, and I was surprised at how easy and versatile this veg was. I tend to start mine with a base of onions and garlic, and then some spices (turmeric, ginger powder, generic curry powder) before I throw the squash in with chicken stock. It's my favourite lazy soup these days.
roast a butternut squash
fry thinly sliced leeks and minced garlic in olive oil, fry up some dill in there for a min or two, salt and pep
peel, slice and scoop out the buttsquash and add to pot
cover w quart veggie stock and simmer for 20-30 min or until everything is nice and soft
blend if you want it really smooth or immersion blend for a chunkier vibe
add coconut milk or cream and stir in
voila !
• cost effective
• immensely flexible
• tastes great
• probably good for you tricks i've learned in my granola journey:
• more dried fruit than just raisins
• put on top of Fage full fat yogurt
• egg white, oat bran, flax
