Suitable for vegetarians
A filling soup with a deliciously creamy flavour
Serves 6
Preparation time 50 minutes
Ingredients
- 50g butter
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1tsp Asda ground coriander
- 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into chunks
- 600g squash, such as butternut or pumpkin, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1.5 litres hot vegetable stock
- 200g crème fraîche
- Fresh chives, to garnish
Method
1 Heat the butter in a large saucepan and fry the onion gently for 10 minutes, until softened. Add the coriander and fry for another minute.
2 Add the sweet potato, squash and stock. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 25 minutes, until the chunks of squash and sweet potato are completely tender.
3 Cool slightly, then whizz the soup in batches in a food processor until smooth. Return to a clean pan and stir in two thirds of the crème fraîche. Heat gently until piping hot and check the seasoning. Serve with a swirl of crème fraîche and sprinkled with finely snipped chives.
