Come in from the cold to a comforting bowl of autumnal soup. Adding some toasted pine nuts and pumpkin seeds to this simple butternut squash soup gives it the perfect finishing touch

2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
2 onions, diced
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
1 potato, diced
850ml hot vegetable stock
4 tbsp crème fraîche, plus more to serve
Handful of pine nuts, toasted in a dry pan

Method

STEP 1

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.

STEP 2

Cut the squash into large cubes, about 4cm/1½in across, then toss in a large roasting tin with 1 tbsp of the olive oil.

STEP 3

Roast for 30 mins, turning once during cooking, until golden and soft.

STEP 4

While the butternut squash cooks, melt the butter with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan, then add the onions, garlic clove and the potato

STEP 5

Cover and cook on a very low heat for 15-20 mins until the onions and the potato are completely soft.

Return to the pan, gently reheat, then season to taste. Serve the soup in bowls with swirls of crème fraîche and the nuts.

Rhubarb oat cake 🤤

Did you know that rhubarb is a vegetable known for its reddish stalks and sour taste?

Rhubarb is not especially rich in essential nutrients, and its calorie content is low.

However, it is a very good source of vitamin K1, providing around 26–37% of the Daily Value (DV) in a 100-gram serving depending on whether it’s cooked.

Like other fruits and vegetables, it’s also high in fiber, providing similar amounts as oranges, apples, or celery.

Can't wait to tuck in 😁
