  2. Put the chickpeas and garlic into a food blender. Squeeze the lemon into the mixture and ad a pinch of salt and pepper.

Butternut Squash Soup

  • 3 small cloves of garlic
  • Sweet onions
  • Olive or coconut oil

Method

  1. Peel the onions, garlic and butternut squash. De-seed the butternut squash and dice, as well as dicing the onion. Preheat oven at 400˚c.
  2. Before making these ingredients into a soup you are going to need to roast the butternut squash, onions and garlic together. Roast in the oven at 400˚c for 40 minutes so the squash is fork-tender. 
  3. To make the soup you need either a submersion blender or a food blender. Take the veggies out of the oven and you can either place in a food blender with the water/vegetable broth and blend until it is creamy and smooth, or you can place the vegetables in a pan with the water/vegetable broth and use the submersion blender until it becomes creamy.
  4. Serve up hot by either boiling on a pan till the mixture is bubbling or place in the microwave for 3 minutes.
