Orange Soup

Orange Soup

INGREDIENTS: 

½ butternut squash 
3 medium carrots 
1 small red onion 
1 vegetable stock cube 
1 tbsp vegetable oil 
Crushed black pepper 

HOW TO MAKE: Peel the butternut squash and remove the seeds. Peel the carrots and red onion and chop all the vegetables into small chunks. Prepare the stock by dissolving the stock cube in 600 ml (1 pint) of boiling water. In a large saucepan heat the oil and add all the vegetables and season with black pepper. Gently sweat the vegetables in the pan with the lid on for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the stock, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and using a blender (hand or jug), blend the soup until smooth. Pour into a bowl and enjoy.
