My super smooth butternut squash soup with king prawns


Although this soup is a typical winter dish, I still
LOVE cooking it on days when I just want something comforting and wholesome. It is full of goodness, very easy to make and tastes delicious with some French baguette. My personal touch – some pan-fried garlic prawns and a little bit of cream on top.

2. Roast the cubes in the oven at 180° for 30min, on a non-sticky tray, toss with a table spoon of olive oil.
3. While it’s roasting, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a deep pot and fry the large onion and 2 garlic cloves until soft (for about 10 – 15min)
4. When the butternut squash is roasted, throw it in the pot, add it to the onion/garlic and add the vegetable stock.

6. Let it boil for 10min then add 50ml of single cream.
7. Stir, then blend using a hand blender. Heat for 15min. Keep stirring.
