Butternut Squash Soup with Rose Harissa

---

Harlequin F1 squash would work instead of the butternut squash

Any variety of summer squash or winter squash would work well as a replacement for butternut squash - even pumpkins.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Belazu Argan Oil
• 1 red onion, sliced
• 300g squash, cut into 2.5cm (1in) dice
• 1 vegetable stock cube
• 300ml boiling water
• Single or double cream
• Rose Harissa paste (to taste)

Method

1. Heat the argan oil in a saucepan, add the sliced red onion and cook for 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the squash, fry for a further 2-3 minutes.
3. Dissolve the stock cube in the boiling water, and add to the pan.
4. Raise the heat, and when the soup begins to boil, lower the heat to a rapid simmer. Simmer for 10-12 minutes.
5. Place the hot soup carefully into a blender, and blend until smooth.
6. Stir a swirl (approx ¼ level teaspoons but depends on how spicy you like your soup!) of Rose Harissa onto each serving along with a swirl of cream and serve.
