Happy autumn you guys!!! T'is finally the season for big jumpers, cosy cardies and everything pumpkin! So to celebrate I made this delicious butternut squash soup that's simply perfect for the colder months. It's packed full of the good stuff and keeps you warm from the inside. It's souper (see what I did there..?) easy to make as well so grab your pumpkins and off we go!

Ingredients:

🍁500g butternut squash (peeled and chopped)
🍂1 onion
🍁1 clove of garlic
🍂1 tbsp olive oil
🍁chili flakes
🍂500ml vegetable stock
🍁crème fraîche
🍂cumin
🍁pumpkin seeds
🍂garden lovage or regular parsley

Peel and roughly chop your squash. Heat up the olive oil in a large pot then add in the butternut quash and roast for about 10 to 15 minutes until it's ever so slightly charred at the edges. Add in your chopped onion and garlic as well as the chili flakes (if your not into spicy food you can totally leave them out) and fry until soft. 

Add in the stock and bring to a boil. Let it simmer until your veggies are soft enough to blend then blend the whole thing to a smooth consistency. Stir in the crème fraîche (I used a tablespoon but feel free to make it creamier if you fancy it). Add cumin and parsley to taste and sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds before serving.

This recipe serves two hungry pumpkin lovers :)
