Bored of your regular soup options? Try this tasty and unique soup dish the next time
you’re looking for a warming winter meal!
If you are looking to increase the protein content of this soup, add a can or two of butter
beans before blending. This will create a thicker, creamier texture. You could also pair
this soup with cheesy toast, to up the protein content of your meal.
Ingredients (Serves 4-6)
● 8 large gem squash
● 4 tablespoons olive oil
● 2 large onions, diced
● 2 clove garlic, crushed
● 1.2 liters vegetable stock
● 100ml cream
● 1 ½ cups finely grated parmesan
● Salt and pepper to taste
● Parmesan for serving
Instructions
1. Slice the gem squash in halves, and boil in a large pot until soft enough for
scooping.
2. In the meantime, dice the onions and crush the garlic.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté on a low heat
until fragrant and translucent - about five minutes. Stir occasionally.
4. Once soft, remove the seeds from the gem squash, scoop out the flesh and add
to the onion/garlic pot, along with the vegetable stock.
5. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for about 5 minutes.
6. Using a hand blender, blend the soup mixture until smooth.
7. Return to the stove and add the cream, grated parmesan, salt and pepper.
8. Bring to a simmer and cook on low-medium heat for about 5-10 minutes. Stir
occasionally.
9. Serve with a sprinkling of grated parmesan and your favourite bread. Enjoy!
