Description

A splash of cream, gentle spices, and silky butternut make this soup unforgettable. Cozy Creamy Butternut Soup is the perfect weeknight comfort.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 large butternut, peeled and cut into 5 cm cubes
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small green chili, chopped (optional, adds a gentle kick)
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • Black pepper and salt, to taste
  • Drizzle of fresh cream (for serving)

Optional Serving Ideas:

  • Garlic and herb focaccia
  • Camembert cheese wedges

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat.
  2. Toss in 2 onions, finely chopped, 2 cloves of garlic, minced, and the 1 small green chili if you’re using it.
  3. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and tender. Don’t let the garlic burn, or you’ll get that bitter taste.
  4. Pour in 2 cups of chicken stock and 1 tsp of lemon juice.
  5. Stir, scraping any bits off the bottom.
  6. Add 1 large butternut, cut into 5 cm cubes.
  7. Then pour in 1 cup of water.
  8. Turn the heat up to bring everything to a boil, then lower it to a simmer.
  9. Let it cook uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until the butternut is soft enough to mash easily with a fork.
  10. Season the soup with ¼ tsp cumin, a pinch of cinnamon, salt, and black pepper.
  11. Taste and tweak: sometimes I like a little more lemon to brighten it up.
  12. Carefully blitz the soup in a blender until smooth.
  13. If your blender is small, do it in batches. Don’t overfill!
  14. Pour the mixture back into the pot, warm it through gently, and swirl in a drizzle of fresh cream.
  15. Taste again and adjust seasoning if needed.
  16. Serve warm, alongside garlic and herb focaccia and Camembert cheese wedges for a simple but indulgent meal.
