Recipe Description From Kelly Stewart

The cold weather and dark nights were closing in so I wanted something warming and hearty that I could make and have some leftovers for my work lunches later in the week.

Ingredients

1 decent sized butternut squash
1 red onion (chopped into thin rings)
2 cloves of garlic (crushed)
half a tin if butter beans (optional)
half a tin of light coconut milk
a cup of frozen supersweet sweetcorn
2 tblsp of olive oil
knob of butter

Method

Peel, half and chop the butternut squash into small cubes.

Fry the cubes and the onion rings in a little olive oil until soft, add the butter and the crushed garlic until the garlic is soft.

Now remove the onion rings and put to one side.

Place the cooked butternut squash and garlic along with the butter beans and half of the sweetcorn in a liqidiser (or you could use a hand blender if you prefer) and blitz until smooth.

Now put the liquid into a pan and bring up to a simmering heat and now you can add the cooked onion, the remaining sweetcorn and stir in the coconut milk. with red onion and sweetcorn.

Notes & Variations on Hearty Butternut Squash and Red Onion Soup

Be careful not to burn the garlic as the bitterness will really taint this dish! Also, you could substitute the butter beans for more sweetcorn if you didn't like them as they are just for a thicker texture really. Hope you enjoy making and eating this

10/10	was fantastic really enjoyed it and didnt take that long to get it ready will have to pass it on to my friends they will love it
8/10	Was very delicious, and aside from chopping up the squash was fairly simple and quick to make. I did use a whole tin of coconut milk though, which I think made it taste better.

Buternut Squash Recipes

	Aoki Sweetcorn & Chilli Butternut Squash I discovered this delicious recipe when I was living with a Japanese family in Argentina! It seems to be a mix of both cultures. It works well with squashes or pumpkin and is delicious served with the red cabbage salad. You can use pumpkin instead of squash, if you prefer.
	Autumn Vegetable Stir Fry This is a quick and easy way of using up any leftovers in your autumn veg box. We've listed the ingredients we most commonly use, but you can adapt this recipe to suit whatever you've got spare.
	Baked Butternut Squash This recipe works equally well with butternut squash or pumpkin. It can go in the oven while you're cooking the rest of your meal and the roasting causes the sugars to caramelise, giving the squash an even sweeter flavour.
	Butternut Squash & Almond Cake Yes, you read it right! We do mean cake. Squashes are sweet and creamy in texture when cooked, meaning they work beautifully to puddings. Works well with any squash or pumpkin.
	Butternut Squash / Pumpkin Puree This butternut squash recipe (also great with pumpkin) is incredibly simple and makes a great weaning food for little ones. Or you can serve it as a side vegetable for older eaters!
	Creamy, Roasted Butternut Squash I invented this recipe by accident whilst roasting a butternut squash for lunch a couple of weeks ago. I had half a tub of cream left in the fridge and wondered what would happen... The result is delicious. Great with any squash or pumpkin.
	Pumpkin Or Butternut Squash Soup This is a great autumn lunchtime soup. We end up making it on Saturday lunchtimes, usually when it's raining! It really is as simple as chop the veggies, cook them in the butter, add the stock and then leave it.
	Pumpkin Pie This classic North American dessert was sent in by Gramma Julie. Over the years, she's developed short cuts that make this pumpkin pie as easy as possible.
	Simple, Steamed Squash Or Pumpkin This is quick and simple way of using butternut squash or pumpkin as a side dish.
	Squash / Pumpkin, Shallot And Sage Roast Quick and simple - a delicious way of cooking autumn shallots and squash or pumpkin.
	Squash And Coconut Soup Squashes keep well throughout the winter and, although the recipe suggests butternut, any orange-fleshed squash will do. The coconut is deliciously sweet with the squash.
	Thai Style Squash Curry This curry is easy to make and pretty quick. Just make the paste, chop the veggies and cook it all in a wok (or large frying pan) with the coconut milk. Works well with pumpkin, too.
