BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP.

If you using frozen defrost boiling water kettle pour over and cover then drain.

One large Carrot diced, Potatoes used baby ones three or four diced up.

Spices Ground Coriander one quarter of teaspoon.

Stock Vegetable a pint need more if a large slow cooker your using.

Mine is a small one so a pint.

Herb Coriander to taste used a small amount very strong. About a tablespoon.

METHOD

Add all to a slow cooker except herbs. On low for four to six hours.

Last half hour herb Coriander.

Then to a blender or food processor please can I advise always be careful blending hot liquids.

I would make this soup cool it down.  To a bowl add the soup.  Fill a sink with cold water.  Add bowl this cools down soup quickly and safely.

Then portion it up to blender then microwave a portion. Lot easier.

Enjoy every one.

Great suggestions @thespiceman. I love leek and potato, but can't say I've ever tried it with passata. Interesting!

Hello @Adrian_Scope.  Thank you very much for kind words.   Passata is a useful standby for the store cupboard.

At lot of time saved easy to store in a carton plus great uses instant Tomato Pasta sauce.

In the blender or food processor  Good source of lycopene .

This is essential which helps the body maintains the immune system. 

All over the Med uses Tomatoes in their recipes.

As I do.

Hope you enjoy.

Please take care.
