With just one click, all these ingredients will be put into a basket on mySupermarket.co.uk.

Method

1. Sweat the onion and garlic in the olive oil over a medium heat in a large, lidded pan for about 7 minutes, or until soft.

2. Chop the carrots and butternut squash into 1.5cm/ 5/8in cubes and add to the pan. Season with black pepper and cook for another 10 minutes, or until the vegetables start to soften.

3. Pour in the stock, add the thyme leaves and parsley or coriander and bring to the boil. Now turn down the heat a little, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.

4. Finally, use a hand blender or liquidizer to purée the soup. Reheat and serve.

Fantastic recipe, going to go down a treat at Christmas lunch. Preferred to use the vegetable stock as i found it enhanced the flavours more, making it veggie friendly for my son-in-law in the process. As a novice soup maker this was Super Easy.. Big Thank you and a Merry Christmas to you all x x
