This is the perfect recipe for anyone who doesn’t like pure, sweet squash soup. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a novice in the kitchen, this dish is sure to become a household favourite.

Ingredients:


This is a healthy and wholesome soup that helps pack in five a day whilst satisfying the taste buds! See below the ingredient you need to make this soup

squash – I like to use butternut squash as it is widely available.

tomatoes – I use sometimes leftover tomatoes that are starting to go a bit wrinkly. Most of the time I just use a can of chopped tomatoes.

potatoes – potatoes add beautiful creaminess and heartiness to the soup. Don’t fear your potatoes 😜.

peppers – I always use a mix of peppers beside the green ones. You can use whatever peppers you have on hand.

tomato puree – ass fantastic acidity to the soup plus it enhances the flavor of the tomatoes.

herbs – all the herbs listed go very well in this soup but ofcourse if you don’t like a particular spice just omit it.

vegetable stock

fresh herbs – I add fresh coriander and parsley but you can use whichever herbs you desire 😜.


Topping options:


  • toasted bread croutons
  • stir fried quron mince
  • crispy chcickpeas
  • or just on it’s own!
cooked squash
potatoes
tomatoes
How to store the soup


After you cool it down keep it in a fridge. I have successfully kept it up to 5 days when made a big batch.

You can also freeze it. For best quality use it within six months.


How to reheat the soup


Heat the soup over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until hot. Do not boil soups as it tends to spoil the flavor and it might cause the ingredients in some soups to separate.


TIPS


  • chop your vegetables into equal sizes so they roast in the same amount of time.
  • don’t forget to fry off the tomato paste. It intensifies the flavor.
