Roasted Vegetable Soup

 Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!



As the winter nights become darker and colder, nothing is more comforting than a bowl of steaming, homemade soup. This is one of my favourites and I hope you give it a try.

A Simple List of Ingredients:

1. Butternut Squash
2. Cumin Seeds
3. Olive Oil
4. Potatoes
5. Tomatoes
6. Sweet Red Chilli
7. Courgette
8. Onion
9. Vegetable Stock
10. Red Chilli Powder
11. Hot Curry Powder
12. Salt and Pepper

Bismillah, let's start!


 We start with one butternut squash.



 Slice in half and scoop out the seeds.



 Slice into chunks and place into an ovenproof dish.



Drizzle with olive oil and cumin seeds. Place the tray in the oven at Gas Mark 6 for 1 hour.



 Peel and slice three potatoes into chunks.



 Boil the potatoes until cooked.



 Slice two tomatoes.



 And one sweet red chilli.



 Once the tomatoes and peppers have been sliced, take the butternut squash out of the oven.



 Place the tomatoes and peppers in the tray and return to the oven to continue the 1 hour or until the flesh of the squash is soft.



 Cover the dish with foil before returning to the oven.



After an hour, remove from oven.



And scoop out the cooked flesh from the butternut squash.



 Slice one courgette



 And, one onion.



Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a pan, and soften the onion and courgette.



Once softened, add all the veggies: the boiled potatoes, roasted tomatoes and pepper and the butternut squash



Stir to combine and heat everything through. 



 Add 1 teaspoon of red chilli powder.



 And 1 teaspoon of hot curry powder.



 Then, add 3 cups of vegetable stock.



 Once heated through, remove from heat and blitz until smooth with a blender.



Season with salt and pepper, according to taste. 



 Serve whilst hot.



 This soup is great with my homemade garlic bread.
