Serves 4
Ingredients
For the soup
2 medium butternut squash
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
4 fat garlic cloves
Hemp seed oil
Salt and black pepper
1 white onion, small dice
1 tsp bouillon powder or stock cube
600ml Good Hemp Creamy Seed Milk
To serve
2 tbsp hemp seeds
coconut yoghurt
black pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 200*C/GM5 and line two baking trays with parchment paper. Slice the butternut squash in half lengthwise and place face-up on the baking trays. Drizzle over a generous amount of hemp seed oil, the rosemary and salt and pepper and rub into the squash with your hands. Wrap the garlic cloves in tinfoil and add to the tray. Roast in the oven for about one hour.
Once the squash is cool enough to handle, scoop out the seeds and discard them. Scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl (if using a handheld blender) or a food blender. Include the rosemary leaves, too.
Meanwhile, heat a large drizzle of olive oil and fry the onion for about 10 minutes on a low/medium heat with a pinch of salt and black pepper until soft and starting to caramelise.
Add the onion to the squash. Add the milk as well as the stock and puree the soup until smooth.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper and add more hemp milk as necessary for a goodsoup consistency.
When ready to serve, warm back through on the hob, ladle into four bowls and top with a dollop of coconut yoghurt, some black pepper and the hemp seeds. Enjoy straight away.
