Autumn Soup

I had this soup today, it was beautiful!!

Ingredients

a slosh of olive oil or coconut oil

1 clove of garlic

1 medium onion, chopped

12oz / 340g butternut squash, diced

3 carrots, diced

1 large sweet potato, diced

a pinch of mixed herbs

2 pints / 1 litre hot water or chicken stock if you have your own

2 stock cubes (Kallo organic are good) if you have no stock

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in your pressure cooker over a medium heat. or roast in oven

Soften the onion for about 10 minutes while you chop the other veg. Stir regularly to avoid burning them.

When the onion is golden and soft, add the garlic and herbs and fry off for a minute or two.

Toss in the rest of the veg and give it all a good stir about to coat it all with the oil, herbs and garlic.

Add the stock (or the stock cubes and hot water).

Close up your pressure cooker and turn up the heat to get it up to pressure.

Cook for 10 minutes at high pressure, then relase the pressure in accordance with the instructions for your particular pressure cooker.

When it has cooled just a fraction, whizz it with a hand-held blender, taste it and adjust the seasoning.

Dear VeronicaF,

Sounds lovely, I made both Mushroom and Tomato soups. I was, very carful, cooking the onions, in butter,- just letting them Caramelise, over a very low heat- with frequent stirring. The Tomatoes I peeled, chopped- after removing the stork end- then cooked them slowly in my largest saucepan. The Mushrooms I gently fried, again in butter (maybe with a little oil added) until they were 'lovely and soft' then I transferred these, to the saucepan. I then added hot water, I had had the kettle on previously, milk, stock- I used Bullion, Swiss Vegetable- stock. In both cases I let them Simmer, for about, twenty minutes with stirring. (The Tomato Soup will require, a fair bit, of Sweetening. I added some ketchup, to the peeled/ chopped tomatoes. Honey, which can be added to either soup, is a good ingredient too.) I then Blended the mixture, I have a Stick Blender, which can be used in the pan directly. (A small 'Tip' here, if you remove- or don't add- some of the cooked mushroom- it can be cut small, then added to the soup after blending....Just like the Pros.) A, VERY small, amount of white pepper needs to be added and, I do mean small- too much ruins it!

Both soups will Keep in the Fridge, for about four days. Alternatively they both Freeze, very well indeed. If you are interested I have a 'Leek + Watercress Soup' recipe, it's lovely. Let me know. Mean time, enjoy the Soups.

Warmest, and Soupy, wishes
