Description

This roast butternut chipotle soup without cream is a total winner. It’s simple to make, hearty, and ridiculously inexpensive.  The perfect cold-weather soup!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 g butter (unsalted)
  • 1 onion (sliced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 1/2 butternut pumpkin (peeled, seeds removed. Cut into rough 5cm chunks.)
  • 1 potato (peeled, cut in half)
  • 750 ml water
  • ½ tsp chipotle chili (ground)
  • sea salt
  • cracked pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 140°c.
  2. In a cast iron casserole on a low heat, melt the butter. Add the sliced onions and gently stir. Cook them until soft and translucent (about 10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the garlic. Stir in, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the pumpkin, potato and water. Increase the heat to medium and bring to a simmer.
  4. Once simmering, remove the soup from the stovetop and pop into the oven for 90 minutes.
  5. After 90 minutes the pumpkin and onions should be nice and caramelized, and the liquid partly reduced. Blitz the soup with a stick blender and add the ground chipotle. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper.

Notes

Half a butternut pumpkin before seeded and peeled is roughly about 1kg in weight.

I use a 24cm cast iron french oven for this recipe.
