Honey Roasted Butternut & Orange soup

April 21, 2010 by Alida Ryder 5 Comments

Honey Roasted Butternut & Orange soup

This is of course the season for soups, stews and curries and with it suddenly being sooo cold in Pretoria, I thought I had to make us a good, comforting soup last night. I absolutely adore any form of Butternut soup and I’m constantly thinking of new things to add to it or different variations. Last night I decided to roast the butternut with a good drizzle of honey and I also added some carrots and sweet potato to add sweetness, flavour and colour. It came out exceptionally well. I served the soup with Cheesy Bruschetta (I drizzled thick slices of bread ( I used White Boule from Woolies) with Oil and popped them into a very hot oven until they were just starting to go golden and crisp, then I topped them with grated cheese, placed them back in the oven and allowed the cheese to melt).Ā  I topped the soup off with Chilli roasted Pumpkin seeds. I just took the seeds that I removed from the Butternut, placed them on a baking tray with a drizzle of chilli oil and some honey, popped them into a hot oven until they were caramelised and allowed them to cool. Really a great way to add texture to such a silky smooth soup! Enjoy!
