Ingredients
- 1 Butternut Squash - Peeled and diced (keep these - you might like to roast them and add them in as a garnish).
- 1 Large White Onion - Peeled and roughly diced.
- 1 Medium Red Chilli - Finely diced, with seeds if you want.
- 2-3 Cloves of Garlic - Peeled and diced.
- 1 Vegetable Stock Cube.
- Salt&Black Pepper to taste.
- Olive Oil.
- 700ml boiling water.
- 1 Handful of large watercress leaves (optional).
- A Dash of Cream/Yoghurt (optional).
Directions
- Over a medium heat, add a dash of oil and sauté the onion for 4-5 minutes, or until it starts to clear.
- Add the garlic and chillies, and continue to sauté for 2 minutes.
- Add the Butternut Squash, and sauté for a further 3 minutes. Get the kettle boiling.
- Add the water and crumble in the stock cube.
- Over the medium heat, this should come back to the boil fairly quickly. Reduce the heat to leave it gently simmering. Partially cover, and leave to cook for 15-20 minutes (until the squash is soft), stirring occasionally.
- When cooked, take off the heat and blend.
- Add a good whack of freshly ground black pepper, and a touch of salt to taste.
- Serve! I feel it's good enough like this, but some like it creamier. You can add a dash of cream or yoghurt at this point and, if you fancy it, dress it with the watercress (I think the peppery taste compliments the mellow squash nicely). Mmmm.

I had to make it for 5 people so I changed the ingredients slightly... These are the modifications I made:
1 x 100g butternut - kept the skin
1 x 100g pumpkin - removed the skin
2 large onions
3 garlic cloves
1 liter of water
I blended in one little tub of plain yogurt before serving.
Everything else stayed the same. YUM!

This was really easy and very tasty! I like that it's low calorie and made w/out cream. Thank you!!

Highly recommended!! You will be happy to know that this has become a family favourite and we eat it about once a week now that winter is on it's way! :D We have tried just butternut, just pumpkin, a mixture of both and yesterday I even made it with some giant curly zucchini we have growing in the garden! (had to add a teaspoon of sugar to that one to get the same effect but it was great!) We LOVE it! ;) Thanks a million.

Ah, thanks Nemo! Like the fact that you're home growing things for it too... awesome :). And now it's getting towards Winter (well, it feels like it), I've got to add another soup ASAP... Woo!
