Having an abundance of most fresh veg I make soup a couple of times a week. At the moment I am overwhelmed with sweet peppers and tomatoes. But I was toying with the idea of Squash soup for this afternoons creation. Like all soups I avoid a set recipe, but take bits and pieces of a number of recipes and then rustle something out of it. Guessing, I'd say I have at least...

I make Thai squash soup a la EcclesCake, it’s delicious and dead easy.
Chop up an onion and a butternut squash, boil up in a pan with chicken stock to cover. Blitz. Add a spoon or two of Thai red curry paste and half a tin of coconut milk. Serve with a sprinkle of chopped coriander and a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

I like James Martin's but I do it a bit differently. Simmer chunks of squash and chopped onion in a good vegetable stock. Blitz. Season well. Thin with milk to the required texture. Just before serving add the juice of half a lime per two servings. to posh it up after plating add a swirl of youghurt or pumpkin oil and sprinkle with shreds of lime zest. I also make it 50 50 with squash or pumpkin and sweet potato. Here's the "real" version. https:/ /www.bb c.co.uk /food/r ecipes/ roasted buttern utsqua_ 82587

Guessing, I'd say I have at least 30 very large butternut squash sat in my shed at the allotment, waitng for me to make an impression on them.
My guess would be to peel, dice and roast the squash on tray with a glug of olive oil.. add a couple or crushed garlic cloves.
2 or 3 sticks of celery, 2 or 3 onions. A couple of potatoes and a couple of carrots.. all sliced and put in a large saucepan with a bit of olive oil. Low gas and regular stirring to stop it sticking.
1 vegetable stock cube and 500ml. of boiling water. Add half a teaspoon of paprika. Dont forget salt and pepper.
Mix and pour over veg in pot.
Remove squash from oven when tips start to burn and add to pot. Keep stirring, after boiling until everything is soft then simply blitz with hand blender.
Last Saturday I did 9 ltrs. of roast pepper soup, it was gone by Sunday afternoon .. everyone sems to want to take it away with them ! Texts follow to say it was amazing and when are you making some more ?

I slice the squash down the middle and scrape out the seeds, then pour some olive oil into the well where the seeds were. Get a brush and dip into the well to brush the surface of the squash so that the surface doesn't crisp. When roasted, scoop the flesh from the skin. Meanwhile, saute a couple of finely chopped shallots in butter or oil and add some cumin. When the spices are mixed with the shallots, sweat the scooped squash (and any other veg that you might want to add such as sliced carrots) Add chicken or veg stock (I like a mixture of both) Simmer until done. Sometimes I add a tin of chopped tomato to add interest. Season and blend.
