Ingredients

  • 1/2 Butternut squash, cut into chunks
  • 1 medium Onion, sliced
  • 2 small Potatoes, cut into small chunks
  • 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
  • 1 Garlic clove, crushed
  • 2cm pieces Ginger, grated
  • Boiling water
  • 1/2 Chicken or vegetable stock cube
  • 1 tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  • Heat extra virgin olive oil in a pan and add onions and salt until softened, add a pinch of thyme whilst this is happening.
  • Add garlic and ginger until fragrant then add the squash and potatoes and stir them around in the pan.
  • Pour boiling water on ingredients until nearly covered, but about 2cm out of water. Add the chicken stock and stir so evenly combined.
  • Put on medium low (more on the low side) heat for about 10 minutes and stir.
  • Leave for another 10 minutes. By this point the squash and potatoes should be soft, if not, leave for another 10 minutes.
  • Once vegetables are soft, blend with a stick blender or any blender of choice. Add more water if consistency is too thick.
  • Serve with crusty bread.
