Autumn soup recipe - sort of...


I have been asked for the roasted squash, pepper and sweet potato soup recipe.  Chris didn't use a recipe (unlike me who always has to follow a recipe), but here is a sort of recipe.
He roasted a squash, onion, peppers, tomatoes and garlic in the oven, until they were softened, having drizzled them with a little oil (or Frylight).  He then chopped up sweet potato and ordinary potato and added the roasted veg into a pressure cooker and added vegetable stock.  He let it cook for 5 minutes (this could all be boiled in a large pan for about 20 mins (that's the way I would have to do it, because pressure cookers scare me!).   As I am fussy (!) he then blitzed the soup down until smooth, although if you like chunky soup, you can leave the chunks in.  He probably added a little butter, some salt and pepper and some wine too.
It does taste lovely!

  1. I am with Chris. I 'might' follow a recipe the first time I make something but after that I adjust and alter depending on personal taste and what we have to hand.
    I like my soups with chunks. And am too lazy to take the additional step of blitzing.
    This does sound good though.

    1. Thanks, EC. I wish I was the sort of person who could throw a bit of this in and a bit of that and not worry about measuring, but there we are. I know that if I tried that, it probably wouldn't work very well, so I had better stick to recipes and measuring!

  2. That sounds really tasty and warming. I too am terrified of pressure cookers. Give me a good old fashioned saucepan any day

    1. Thanks, Cherie. I always think the pressure cooker will explode (even though it never has), so won't use it. Chris has no such worries.
