Butternut Pumpkin / Butternut Squash Soup

[Roxy]

I made this soup tonight and it was awesome!

I doubled the recipe and ended up with 4 meal-size bowls of soup. It's very filling, and with some bread on the side, it makes and nice wintery meal.

I served it up with some grilled focacia bread:

That looks really good and the recipe is pretty simple! I will have to try it. I love pumpkin anything!

[Roxy]

Thanks Yes - do it - it's a nice simple, inexpensive recipe! Double it if you can. That's what I did.

I can't remember....I think it was cilantro. Actually, I'm pretty sure it was cilantro, as it would've gone nicely with the ginger and coconut milk flavours.

Hey I'm glad you liked it! I should make it again soon too. It's definitely the weather for soups

It looks like cilantro. Mmm, that looks really good! I am thinking of making that for Thanksgiving, since I can't have pumpkin pie (no oven). So why not pumpkin soup instead?

I came up with a really simple version of this soup a while ago- good if you haven't got coconut milk in, or want something a bit lighter:

For two bowls:

1/2 Butternut Squash, chopped
1/2 Onion
Garlic
Chilli powder
1/2 pint of stock, or enough to cover
Spinach

Fry the garlic and onion for a short while. Add butternut squash and fry for a couple of minutes, with the chilli powder, to taste. Add stock, season and cover for around 15 minutes, or until the water has almost completely evaporated, on a high heat.
Liquidise until smooth, stir in spinach.
