Butternut Squash Soup with Cinnamon Cream – You will need:

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 50 minutes

  • 175ml (6fl oz) double cream
  • ¼ tsp Schwartz Ground Cinnamon
  • 750g (1.7lb) butternut squash
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 red onion, sliced relatively thinly
  • 50ml (2fl oz) sunflower oil
  • 800ml (1¼ pint) chicken stock
  • 50g (2oz) butter
  • 1 tsp Schwartz Ground Nutmeg
  • ½ tsp Schwartz Ground Ginger
  • Schwartz Sea Salt and Black Pepper to season

Butternut Squash Soup with Cinnamon Cream – Method:

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC, 350ºF, Gas Mark 4.
  2. Whisk 145ml of the double cream until it forms soft peaks, stir in the Schwartz Cinnamon and leave to chill in the fridge.
  3. Peel and cube the squash and put it on a tray in the oven with the garlic, red onion and oil. Season and jumble together with your hands so everything is coated. Roast for about half an hour.
  4. Warm the stock until it is simmering gently, ready for when the vegetables are roasted. Carefully tip the squash, onion and garlic in to the stock. Add the butter, remaining 2 tbs of cream, and the Ginger and Nutmeg to the pan, then use a hand-held blender to make a smooth-ish puree. Season to taste.
  5. Pour in to bowls, then use two dessert spoons to scoop out quenelles of the Cinnamon cream and place them in the centre of the soup. Serve with a crusty roll.
