Sunshine Soup - when it's grey outside, make it shine in your kitchen!
A similar one to the sweet potato soup but with a silkier texture.
You will need:
1 small butternut squash (peeled and cut into chunks)
1 large sweet potato (peeled and cut into chunks)
Half a red onion
1 can of coconut milk
1 clove of garlic
Half a teaspoon of turmeric
Pinch of saffron (optional)
Olive oil
● Dice the onion and garlic and cook gently in a splash of olive oil and the turmeric.
● Once the onion has softened add the squash and potato to the pan and add enough water to just cover and bring the boil.
● Turn back down to a medium heat, stir in the coconut milk and the saffron if using.
● Simmer for 10 minutes or until the squash is soft.
● Take the pan off the heat and blend until smooth. Stir in a tablespoon of olive oil.
Enjoy.
Plein Temps Tout?
Roughly translates as 'full time everything!' Leading such a busy life, like so many of us. It's easy to fall into the trap of convenience over quality. But ready meals, sauces in jars and processed food always tasted a bit naff to me. Now cooking from scratch is a big part of my home life and I'm always out to convert people who think they can't, for a number of reasons. I'm always inspired to try new ideas and flavours, and when things work I'll put them on here, alongside some classics of course!
