How to make delicious butternut squash soup in 30 minutes

This is the size potato I use. I used 2 because my squash was small but if yours is very large you can use one. The potato also acts as a thickener too so bare that in mind if you like thick soup

Peel and chop your carrots, onion, potatoes and celery. (Don't peel the celery)

Cut off top and bottom of squash. Cut squash in half right where the skinny bit ends. Peel squash. I use a glove or plastic wrap to hold the squash because the starch is very hard to get off hands.

Take your time and go around until all skin is removed.

Slice both pieces in half

Remove seeds with a spoon You can roast the seeds if you like and use them as a garnish.

Add butter to a large soup pot on medium heat, number 5.

Add the onion and cook for about 2 minutes.

Add the potato, carrot, celery , and nutmeg and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Pour in your stock

Turn heat up to high and add the squash. The stock should NOT cover the veges completely. Bring to boil, cover, reduce heat to number 3 and cook for 20 mins until veges are soft.

Take your stick blender and blend until smooth and velvety with no lumps. If you don't have a stick blender, blend in batches in the food processor.

This is what it will look like when it's smooth

Return to the stove on number 3, stir in the heavy cream and season to taste with kosher salt and black pepper. Heat through for a few minutes but don't boil.

Almost ready and smelling delicious!

Serve in bowl. I added some sour cream to mine but you don't have too. Enjoy!
