Warming Butternut Squash & Courgette Soup

This soup was a new one for my retreat last weekend and it went down a treat so I’ve decided to share the recipe. There’s lots of organic squash available at the moment and this warming soup is a great option for these colder evenings!

Serves 4.

Ingredients:

1 large/ 2 small organic butternut squash

3 organic courgettes

2 cloves organic garlic

1 organic onion

1 inch organic ginger root

1 tsp organic fennel seeds

1 tsp organic star anise

1 tsp organic cinnamon

1 tbsp sprouted mung beans

First steam the butternut squash for about 10 minutes; this makes it easier to cut. Remove the seeds and skin and cut into cubes.

I then add all the ingredients, along with water, into my trustee Morphy Richards soup maker but alternatively you can simmer in a pot for about 20 minutes and then blend until nice and smooth.

Garnish with sprouted mung beans and enjoy!
