I might have bought the biggest butternut squash I've ever seen in my life. I wish I'd taken a photo of it next to my head. Seriously it was enormous.
Anyway. As it was so big, I decided to make a few different dishes out of it...well two. The first was this, a super yummy and low calorie butternut squash soup, and it has only two ingredients! (if you don't count spices)
For this lovely soup you will need:
- Half a large butternut squash (or one whole one if you'd like to make more)
- 5 carrots
- Dash of turmeric
So I halved my butternut squash - which was not easy so I had to ask Rob to help - and removed the seeds, then I placed it skin side up in a roasting dish and left it in the oven at about 150C Fan for a bit over an hour.
Once removed from the oven, I removed the skin, cut the squash into cubes and placed it in a large pan.
Meanwhile I cut the carrots into rounds and boiled them till nice and soft, then drained them and added them to the squash. Then with my immersion blender I blended them all together!
It was super simple, took no thought at all, and I left it all to go as I tidied the house and played board games with Rob.
