Roasted Butternut Squash & Tomato Soup
Possibly one of my favourite and easiest soup recipes my Butternut Squash & Tomato Soup, all roasted in the oven!
What is it about soup?
I love this soup so much, I could eat it everyday, I hope you’ll feel the same 🙂 .
Whenever I’m travelling all I crave is a bowl of homemade soup when I get home. There is something so homely about it!
And what I also love is with soup you get to use up all those sad looking vegetables in the bottom or your fridge that have probably seen better days?
This delicious soup is easily made as ALL the vegetables are roasted in a large tray in the oven.
This somehow has a lovely way of concentrating the flavours and it keeps your hob clean :-).
Double Win!
Quite a sweet and garlicy soup but oh so very delicious.
I really do love this soup and tend to make a very big batch. This means I can freeze portions ready for lunches in the week.
Adapt your Butternut Squash soup?
A very warming and wintery dish…. perfect for cold weather!
You could make it with just Roasted Butternut Squash and have a Butternut Squash Soup or you could do what I do and add Tomatoes, lovely!
You can also adapt any way you like?
Throw in any root veggies of your choice maybe? What I do need to tell you is it’s the roasting of the veggies that gives it its immense flavour, really it does!
Have a go and let me know how you get on, leave me a comment below the recipe.
I do so love to receive your comments so looking forward to hearing what you think to this delicious and easy Roasted Butternut Squash & Tomato Soup
Incidentally if you drop the Olive Oil and use firelight it’s also a great Slimming recipe! 🙂
Don’t you think it’s such a lovely colour?
Also really so healthy!

Can u make this in a soup maker

Hi Ellen – probably – however the issue is the really good flavour comes from roasting in the oven – Thanks Clare

Hi Ellen , I have made other roasted vegs in the oven, once you are satisfied that they smell, look good and are tender pop them into your soupmaker, add your stock and choose your texture. I did mine on smooth and it was absolutely gorgeous and I am a virgin at making soup , it’s my second one and I am converted, it’s helping me to slim and eat my veggies , hope this was helpful

Sounds great but I need clarification.
What is a roasting tin? Sounds line a flat baking pan but how does it hold liquid?
Clare x
Its a large roasting pan but with high sides – so it holds liquid – hope this helps
Thanks Clare
