As the Autumn sets in and Halloween and Bonfire Night just around the corner, I couldn't resist making a warming flavoursome soup using the amazingly versitile crop of #Butternut Squash and #Sweet Potato. So easy to make and yet so healthy. Perfect with warm crusty bread.

Steps

30 mins

1

Fry the cumin and coriander seeds in a hot dry frying pan for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but be careful not to burn them. Once cool, crush in a mortar & pestle.
2

Peel the butternut squash and sweet potato and add to a food processor along with the celery and onion. Or hand chop if you prefer into small pieces.
3

Melt the butter in a large saucepan before adding the onion and celery. Sweat for 10 minutes then add the garlic, butternut squash and sweet potato.
4

Pour in the stock, season with salt and pepper, stir, then cover with a lid and simmer for 30 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
5

Leave the soup to cool and blend with a hand blender, or mash with a potato masher if you prefer. Ensure that you get a smooth consistency.
6

Pour carefully into a bowl and garnish with a sprinkling of the coriander and cumin seed mix, some fresh coriander and grate a tiny bit of nutmeg over the top. (How easy was that).
