Butternut squash makes a beautiful golden soup, with a surprisingly sweet flavour. It takes a few minutes to prepare the ingredients, because the butternut has a tough outer skin which can be hard to remove.

Try slicing off the top and bottom of the squash, then slicing it in two across the thinner 'neck' part. Hold half a squash firmly upright on a chopping board and using a very sharp knife, pare off the skin from top to bottom. Cut the flesh into dice. Squash cooks very quickly, so the pieces don't have to be too small.

Butternut squash has more flavour than some other squashes, but the soup is still improved by adding other flavours. This recipe uses ground cumin but there are many other herbs and spices which would also marry well.

Try adding garlic, ground coriander, a pinch or two of smoked paprika, a scattering of chilli flakes. You can make the soup as spicy or as comfortingly bland as you like.
