Ingredients
  

  • 1.8 kg butternut squash or pumpkin approx. 2 squashes - raw and unpeeled weight
  • salt and pepper for roasting
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil for roasting
  • 2 onions
  • 70 g fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 2 vegetable stock cubes
  • 750 ml water
  • 1 teaspoon salt or more - season to individual taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180C / 200C conventional / 355F
  • Cut 1.8 kg butternut squash or pumpkin in half lengthways and remove the seeds, peel 2 onions and cut in half - add to a lined baking tray
  • Drizzle with 4 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper
  • Roast vegetables in the oven for 60 - 80 minutes
  • Once roasted, add the roasted vegetables to a blender (food processor) - you can either remove the skin from the butternut squash or you can blend it up with the soup (it's a great source of fibre)
