HEALTHY HEARTY HOMEMADE SOUP RECIPE

Happy monday,

I've finally given myself some time to sit down and work on my three soup recipe's. I'm starting off firstly with my sweet pepper and roasted butternut squash soup as you's really seem to like it. I've noticed with the colder months rolling in i like to bring out my big pot to bring together some nice healthy hearty homemade soups. I find it's great for bringing in as a lunch meal with some nice thick brown bread or when you are just sitting by a fire all toasty and you fill up with a nice big bowl of soup. I just love it they are so simple and very easy to make. Here's my first recipe of the week that i like to put together and really enjoy eating :)

What you need:

1 butternut squash

1 big sweet pepper

A clove of garlic 

1 vegetable stock

1 red or green chillis

1 red onion

Salt and pepper for taste

Preheat oven at 180 to roast vegetables

Cooking time is half an hour but a little longer to let the food chill

Roasted sweet pepper butternut squash soup:

1. Firstly you need to chop everything in half like your butternut squash, onion, sweet pepper, a chilli (for hottest) and garlic.
2. Pop them all into a roasting dish drizzle with a small bit of olive oil and sprinkle over with rock salt and pepper.
3. Leave the vegetables in the oven for 20 minutes in a heat of 180 degrees just to soften up all your vegetables.

4. While that is cooking pop on the kettle for some boiling water pour that water into a jug. Be careful with that part as you also need to drop in one vegetable cube to let it dissolve.

5. When your vegetables are finally cooked take them out and pop to one side to leave them to cool down.

6. When they are cold enough put all your vegetables on a chopping board to chop them all up roughly but scrape out your butternut squash from the skin.

7. With the jug of vegetable stock pour it into a big enough pot so that all your vegetables can fit into it too.

8. While on the heat put everything in together and simply let it boil. You want to let all the flavours to mix together while in the pot.

9. When this has happen turn off your heat let everything settle and put to one side to let it all cool down.

10. You are going to need a blender or nutri bullet for this part. I like to use my nutri bullet as i find it's very quick in blending food. Simply pour out enough into the nutri bullet for you to fill up a bowl to enjoy.

11. Quickly blitz it all together in the nutri bullet making sure that the vegetables are all blended nicely together that when you are pouring it out there are no signs of any chunky piece's. 

Hope you enjoy making the soup!
