Chef Zana’s Butternut Soup

Recipes__Vegetarian

This savoury butternut soup is my midweek winter warmer! It’s nourishing, smooth, creamy and just yummy.

Ingredients

✔1 butternut, peeled and cored

✔Half an onion, sliced

✔Water

✔1 vegetable stock cube or chicken stock cube

✔ 3 quarters of a cup Nestlé evaporated milk

✔Salt to taste

✔1 teaspoon brown sugar

✔Cracked black pepper

????Cut butternut into slices, and put into a deep pot with the sliced onion.

Add enough water to cover the butternut, and bring to boil.

????Once butternut has softened, add in the stock cube.

Simmer until butternut is fully cooked, soft, and breaks apart when poked with a fork.

????Remove from heat and blend. I use a stick blender.

Add the evaporated milk, salt, teaspoon of sugar and black pepper to taste. Blend until fully incorporated. Return to heat and simmer for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.

Garnish with pan roasted pumpkin seeds and a swirl of cream.
