Butternut Squash and Cheddar Soup
with Apple and Pecan
Instructions
1 Prep
Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds and chop it into cubes. Peel and chop the onion, garlic and carrot. Grate the mature cheddar.
2 Start soup
Heat a large soup pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the butternut squash, onion and carrot, and cook with a pinch of salt for 5 min. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min further.
3 Simmer
Add the paprika, black pepper, measured water and stock cube. Bring to a simmer and cover with a lid. Simmer for 25 min or until the squash has softened.
4 Prep topping
Meanwhile, peel the apples and cut them into small cubes. Roughly chop the pecan nuts. Heat a pan over a medium heat with the butter. Add the apple and cook for 2 min until slightly softened. Add the pecan, maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon powder. Cook for 1 min further.
5 Puree soup
Add the cream to the soup and puree it with a hand-held blender. If the soup is too thick, add a splash of water. Add the grated cheeses and stir until melted. Check the seasoning.
6 Serve
Divide the soup among bowls and sprinkle with the apple and pecan mix.
Tips for fussy eaters
Reserve some of the grated cheddar and prepare a cheese toastie for them!
Pro tip
Prepare the soup in advance, up until step 3. Reheat, puree and add the cheese just in time for dinner.
