An Autumnal soup

30/09/2016
Butternut squash soup

It feels like Autumn is upon us and this warming soup hits the spot as the days get chilly and nights draw in. Butternut squash is in season right now and the more green-fingered of you may have it growing on your vegetable patch – if you do, I am envious as my patch was a disaster this year!!!

I often cook butternut squash… as an accompaniment to a roast dinner, or a filling in a Moroccan-style wrap, or as the main star in a risotto (my favourite). It’s velvety texture also works really well blended into a soup.

In this recipe, I have roasted the squash which provides a more intense flavour and colour. I love combining it with cumin seeds and chillies for a spicy kick. As with most soups, this is really very simple to make and requires hardly any overseeing.

I am suggesting two serving options for this soup…

A) The ‘undressed’ version, for those of you counting calories… it is particularly good for a fast day at only 142 calories.

 

 

Butternut squash soupB) The ‘souped up’ version (see what I did there!!) with the added treat of goats cheese and pancetta – great for an indulgent lunch or a dinner party starter.

 

 

 

Roasted butternut squash soup
Serves 4
142 calories per serving (undressed, without the topping)

Ingredients
1 butternut squash, peeled, de-seeded and chopped into chunks
1 red onion, roughly chopped
1 tsp chillies (I use English Provender Very Lazy Red Chillies)
2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp coconut oil (or butter)
4 cloves garlic
750ml chicken stock (I use Knorr Chicken Reduced Salt Granules – 2 tsp for 750ml)
Optional topping: Goats cheese, pancetta cubes, toasted seeds

Method
1) Place the butternut squash, onion, cumin, chillies, garlic cloves (with skin on) and coconut oil into a roasting dish and combine well.

2) Cover with foil and roast for 45mins at 200°, taking the dish out to give a good shake to ensure the veg is well coated in the oil after about 5mins.

3) Remove the dish from the oven and squeeze out the garlic from their skins before tipping all the veg into your blender.

4) Make up the hot chicken stock and add to the roasted veg with salt & pepper to taste.

4) Process/blend with your usual tool. The result will be quite a thick soup, so add more liquid as to your preference.

If you are serving with the topping…

5) Dry fry some seeds of your choice (pine nuts work well, but I didn’t have any at the time), take out of the pan and set aside while you fry the pancetta cubes until crispy.

6) Meanwhile, grill the slices of goats cheese on a piece of foil under a hot grill.

7) Carefully place the grilled goats cheese on top of the soup, using a spatula. Sprinkle over the pancetta cubes and toasted seeds and serve – delicious!

Note: my kids loved this but I had to add a swirl (or two) of crème fraîche as it was slightly on the spicy side for them!!!

My favourite soup! So glad to hear it’s suitable for a fast day, I did wonder as it’s got carbs in it! Thanks Club Forty! ?

Capsule Wardrobe dressing 🙌 In my recent poll Capsule Wardrobe dressing 🙌 

In my recent poll on Stories 80% of you say you crave a Capsule Wardrobe. When probed further, the reasons mainly centred around having too much but nothing to wear (sound familiar?) and craving simplicity and a sense of control.

I bet many of you already have the building blocks to a Capsule Wardrobe - you just don’t realise it! Have a read of my latest blog post - follow the link in my bio - and see how many of my suggested capsule pieces you already own 😉

A Capsule Wardrobe might not be as difficult to curate as you may think. It just takes time and discipline to :
➡️ Sort through all your clothes & pick out the timeless basics that mix and match with one another
➡️ Make a considered list of shopping items to complete the capsule wardrobe
➡️ Stick to a regime of relying on a set range of clothes - and not purchasing unecessary items!

I can help you with this, just send me a DM and we can set up a virtual consultation and start planning your Capsule Wardrobe 😍

I’m going to be helping this particular client plan some new Spring outfits via her existing wardrobe... Which got me delving into my own archives for some Spring inspiration. 

Here’s 6 outfits I plan to resurrect this coming season - with a few tweaks to keep the look fresh 😉🌱

Duvet Day I really struggled to get out of bed t Duvet Day 

I really struggled to get out of bed today... my emotional energy is low. There’s cracks in my family unit and it’s hard trying to hold everything together. Everyone is struggling in different ways and being the glue is tough. My teens are especially buckling under the prolonged pressure of lockdown... Every time I feel like breaking free I remind myself that it’s 10 times worse for them.

So I’m sending virtual hugs to anyone else feeling like me today. Wrap yourself up in a snuggly coat, get some fresh air - or if you can, go back to bed & have a duvet day. Be kind to yourself. Your people need you & you can’t pour from an empty cup 💕💕💕💕💕💕
