Serves

6

Ingredients

  • 1 large (or 2 small) butternut squash, peeled and chopped
  • 1 onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 3-4 cups of vegetable stock (alternatively, can use water)
  • 1 tsp rosemary (fresh or dried)
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes (optional)
  • Feta cheese (optional, for topping)

Steps

1

Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and several grinds of fresh pepper and sauté until soft (5- 8 minutes). Add the squash and cook until it begins to soften, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes.

2

Add the garlic, rosemary and chilli flakes. Stir and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the squash is tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

3

Let it cool slightly and pour the soup into a blender (or a use a hand blender), and blend until smooth. If your soup is too thick, add up to 1 cup more broth and blend. Season to taste and serve with a sprinkle of feta on top, a delicate pour of cream, more chilli flakes (if desired) and a sourdough bread of your choice.
