Carrot and Squash Spiced Soup

I think it's fair to say that nothing, just nothing can beat a bowl of home made soup. Not to mention how incredibly in love i am with butternut squash; So when you combine the two - heaven!

                        

Ingrediance
200g carrots
400g Butternut squash
Median sized onion
Low salt stock cube
Fresh ginger

Chop up your onion, carrots and butternut. Peel a small section of your ginger and grate it. Add your onion and ginger to your pan with a cooking medium. (I use '1 cal' spray but you can sub olive/ coconut oil) Once your onions are starting to brown add your butternut squash, let this cook for a while to let the flavours out then add your carrots. Mix your stock cube into 500mls of hot water and add to the pan. Place a lid on and leave you're veggies to cook through.
Once veggies have softened, season your soup / add any extra spices you want. If there is too much water, cook for a while longer until this has evaporated - you need some to be left but not too much or your soup will be too watery.
Blend till smooth using a blender and serve!
