It is ideal for a quick breakfast when combined with a healthy protein for example a small tub of plain yogurt or as a delicious lunchbox filler.

Creamy Butternut Soup 🥣

This recipe is brightly coloured with a deep orange hue thanks to the tomatoes and butternut. Tomatoes are a significant source of folate, potassium, beta carotene and vitamin C. Lycopene is a non-vitamin A-active carotenoid that has high oxygen radical scavenging and quenching capacity which means that it is an important anti-inflammatory nutrient. Lycopene has also been advocated for the prevention of prostate cancer. The butternut contains beta carotene which is a precursor for vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential for immune and eye health and may play a role in prevention of an eye condition called macular degeneration.

Serves 6
INGREDIENTS
- 3 Tbsp canola oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 large tomatoes, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 medium butternut, mashed
- 3 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 cup plain yogurt

METHOD
1. Heat the oil in a pot over a medium heat. Sauté the onion and garlic and raise the heat to medium-high.
2. Add the tomatoes, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper and 3 cups of water and cook for 6 minutes.
3. Add the butternut and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the butternut is tender. Set aside to cool.
4. Puree the soup in a blender while adding the yogurt. Return the soup to a medium heat in the pot. Stir in the lemon juice.
5. Serve in soup bowls.

ENJOY!
