Butternut soup

I haven't posted in forever, but with this winter weather, I felt a little inspired to post some winter favourites

One meal always goes down well: butternut soup. It's the closest one to mine - recipe wise. When I actually find mine, i promise to post it.

Ingredients

Salt

• Black Pepper
• 1 tbsp Margarine
• 2 Medium Onions roughly chopped
• 2 Cloves Garlic roughly chopped
• 5 ml Nutmeg
• 1 ltr Water
• 1 vegetable stock cube
• 250 ml Cream
• 1 kg Butternut peeled & chopped
• 1.25ml Peri Peri spice (optional) 

Instructions

In a large pot, melt the margarine, and fry the onions, garlic and nutmeg and optional peri peri until just soft.

Add the butternut, water and stock cube and bring to the boil.

Allow to simmer for about 30 minutes or until the butternut is soft.

Remove from the heat and blend until smooth in a food processor.

Stir in cream and season to taste with salt and pepper.
