Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup (vegan)

Main modification to this was adding bloody loads of fresh coriander. Think it was a brill decision. The rest is pretty much as-is in the new Veggie Cookbook I have. Did I mention I have a new cook book? Expect lots of new recipes. This is another good one for a super healthy and filling lunch. Also reeeeally tasty. Butternut squash is my favourite of the vegetables, closely followed by sweet potato. BEST SOUP. Vegan, too. And with a nice bit of kick from the chillies (which I recently learnt I am not allergic to! Hurrah! Just regular peppers. For whatever reason)

 

Anyway. INFORMATION:

Prep Time: 20 | Cook Time: 35 | Servings: 10 at 300-350g per serving. This soup makes 3000g of soup. FYI. I weighed it.

Nutritional Info: 78 kcal, 2g fat (trace saturates), 14g carbs, 0.8mg salt (this is for 350g per serving according to the book, but this seems very low in terms of calories)

I like the wobbly potato.

WHAT DO I PUT WHERE?
Heat the oil in a large pan over a gentle heat and fry the onion for about 10 mins until soft.
