EASY BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP RECIPE

(Keywords: easy butternut squash soup, roasted butternut squash soup recipe, butternut squash soup recipes, recipe for butternut squash soup)

This recipe for butternut squash soup is definitely my all-time favourite soup. Huh! I love all soup and have at least half a dozen all-time-favourites, but these butternut squash soup recipes are the queen of them all! Delic and very easy to make.

There's only one bit I hate. Peeling the butternut. You really should wait until the skin is a nutty brown colour, and then it's quite hard to peel. She-who-is-always-right laughs at me. Only a male could find peeling butternut difficult. So be it, if you're a male, rope in de vrouw to peel your butternut squash. The good wife.

BASIC INGREDIENTS

  1. One butternut

  2. Two or three potatoes

  3. One large onion.

But if you are looking for different butternut squash soup recipes then I recommend:

  • CHICKEN BONES BOUILLON

  • One large sweet potato

  • Garlic, of course.

  • A couple bay leaves.

  • Half a can of coconut milk.





Peel and quickly chop the onion. Big bits are fine, you're going to liquidise it. Drop into a large pot together with a large chunk of butter. (Never fry with seed oils or margarine. Use olive oil if your cholesterol is very high)

Aside: This soup is very rich in phytosterols and soluble fibre. Don't be anxious about your cholesterol. What are phytosterols and how do they help with high cholesterol...

  • FOODS THAT LOWER CHOLESTEROL NATURALLY...



    Peeling the butternut squash, sometimes called winter squash soup, is a pain, for me anyway. So I slice them in rings about an inch thick first.





    Scoop out the seeds with a spoon...





    Peel the bloody rings! I grit my teeth, watch my fingers and get on with it. You need a good strong peeler.





    Chop the rings into large pieces, it cooks more quickly.





    Peel and chop the potatoes and sweet potato, add the bayleaf and garlic, and strain in the chicken bones stock. Boil until soft, about half an hour. Remove the bayleaves, add the coconut milk and liquidise with a hand blender.





    Voilà!





    There's some controversy about coconut milk. It is high in cholesterol, but being a vegetable source, I'm not concerned. To be safe, if your LDL cholesterol is high, don't add the coconut milk and cream...

    Roasted butternut squash soup recipe

    The best option, a big of a fag, is to wrap your butternut squash chunks in foil and place on a hot BBQ for an hour, preferably with some nice old oak used for smoking. Otherwise under the grill.

    Then boil for a short while until soft in the chicken bones bouillon as above. Enjoy!



    INDIGESTION

    Many soups give me indigestion; one of things I love about butternut soup, is that I can enjoy it at night, even with bread rolls, and not be anxious about being woken at midnight with massive heartburn. INDIGESTION HEARTBURN ...
