This soup is quite easy to make and doesn't take too long either. Paired with some rolls, it's a great meal.

  • 500 grams/ 1 lb butternut pumpkin/squash cut into 1½" chunks

  4. Process with a hand blender or in batches in a food processor or blender.
  5. Return to the heat and add the cream but do not boil.
