Butternut Squash Soup is a great go to Zero Hero and of course naturally NC. Here is Marie’s version: very simple, no faff roasting, sieving etc…
Ingredients (serves 3):
- small/medium butternut squash, peeled, de-seeded and cut into 2cm dice
- large onion, peeled and cut into wedges
- a pint of water
- a tsp Swiss Bouillon (Vegan) or veg stock cube
- a tsp and a half of ground cumin
- freshly ground black pepper
- fresh or frozen coriander to garnish
Method:
- Put everything into a large pan, bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Liquidise or stick blend till smooth; garnish with coriander.
Notes
You may need more water, it depends on the size of your butternut squash. I do not add salt to my cooking but if you like salt you will need to add. I have made many versions of this soup but this is the easiest, try making it thinner and putting it in a flask to go with your lunch time sandwich.
This is how I have always made mine and its great..sometimes I add in peeled, chopped tomatos 1o mins before the end..lovely flavour…or a handful of chilli flakes..the combos for this are infinite..

Hi Mary, yes I sometimes add chilli flakes too xx
Thank you Helen & Marie.
I regularly make bns soup, sometimes I add a tsp of either chilli powder or curry powder. It gives it a nice kick.
Thanks for your comment, it looks like bns soup is very popular – especially with chilli:-)Helen xxx
