Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup

Butternut Soup Recipe

Deliciously rich, sweet-tasting and comforting. A bowl of soup is just the thing for the cold miserable weather that we have this week here in the UK.

This thick and deliciously creamy soup is totally dairy-free. Roasting vegetables before making soup results in a far more tasty soup.

The addition of cumin makes it nice and warming, just the thing for cold weather.

There are no onions in this soup either although I did add garlic, you can leave it out if you prefer if you have an onion allergy.

I recently reviewed the Froothie Evolve Power Blender with Cook and Steam and used it to make this soup.

Soup makers are excellent and I also have this Morphy Richards Soup Maker which is really easy to use.

Cook on the hob

You can cook this soup (or any other soup) on the hob in a large saucepan but you will have to blend with a stick blender once it's cooked (approx 30 minutes)

Ingredients - serves 4-6

• 1.2kg butternut squash - peeled and deseeded and cut into chunks

• 2 carrots - peeled and cut in half

• 1 red pepper - sliced into quarters and deseeded

• 2 cloves of  garlic - skin on while roasting

• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

• 1 and a half tablespoons olive oil

• 1 1/2 x Knorr vegetable stock cubes

• 600ml water - approx

• 2 teaspoons of runny honey

• 2 teaspoons cumin

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method

Preheat your oven to 200°C/180 Fan/400°F or Gas 6

Put the prepared butternut, carrots, pepper, and garlic into a baking dish, drizzle with the oil and sprinkle over the red pepper flakes.

Mix to coat, and make sure the peppers are skin side up and pop into your preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Turn the veg leaving the pepper's skin side up and return to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes until the butternut and carrots are cooked and the pepper skin is blackened.

Pop the peppers into a small bowl and cover it with cling film. Leave to cool for 5 minutes then you'll find the skin can easily be peeled off and discarded. 

Remove and discard the skin from the garlic cloves

How to Cook Soup in the Froothie Evolve Blender

Add them along with the veg to the Froothie Evolve cooking jug; not the vacuum jug.

Above - Froothie Evolve cooking jug pictured without the base.

Throw in the stock cubes (no need to crumble it) and add approx 600ml water - just about cover the veg but don't go above the max soup fill line of 1400ml.

Add the runny honey, cumin, and black pepper. Put the lid on the jug and lock it into place.

Press the 'On/off' button and you'll notice (as it's the first option) that Smooth Soup is flashing which is what you want, so press 'On/off and your soup will be ready in 30 minutes.

On with the recipe!
