Spicy Squash Soup

I'm experimenting with making a picture diary for this recipe. Let's see how it goes.

Spicy Squash Soup


1 large butternut squash
1 sweet potato
1 large or 2 small onions
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 tsp chilli flakes
1-2 tsp mixed spice
1 litre chicken stock

To begin, a photo 0f our main ingredients:


Not necessary, but I like the composition of the whole thing, so there you go.

Finely dice the onion and seat in the olive oil until soft.


Peel and chop the veg, then throw in the pot along with the spices and seasoning until evenly coated. Cover with the chicken stock.


Leave to simmer for about 30 min until all the veg is soft. If you like smooth soup you can put this in the blender now, but I think that this really works as a thick and hearty chunky soup. This is insanely easy to do.

Take an ordinary potato masher, and brandish like it is the Sword of Justice.


Mash.


Done.


I make this soup all the time, it's really quick and easy to do. Great for cold evenings, and surprisingly filling, especially with a bit of bread on the side.
