Fatsie’s Spicy Butternut Soup Recipe

Ingredients
 A bit of Olive Oil to fry onions
 1.5 kg cut & peeled butternut
 3 medium Onions
 2 Green Apple
 2 Oranges
 4cm grated Ginger
 Spice - 4 teaspoons Cumin
 Spice - 3 teaspoons cinnamon or nutmeg
 Spice - 3 teaspoons Masala
 Spice - 3 tablespoons Raja medium curry powder
 1.5 kg tubs double cream plain yogurt
 4 Chicken Stock cubes
 1 Liter Hot Milk
 450 ml Fat Free Milk (I used fat free, but you can use any)
 250 ml of Woolies pouring cream
 Fresh coriander – to taste

Makes 4 litres of soup

Preparations
1. Chop your onions (small) and keep aside
2. Skin your apple and cut into small pieces – remove the apple core
3. Orange Zest (grate the skin of the range) - you will be using the juice of the orange as well
4. Mix your spices and keep aside

Instructions
 In soup pot - Add your olive oil, once oil is ready then fry your onions
 Add in your cumin, cinnamon/nutmeg, masala and raja curry mix with your onions and let it fry for a bit
 Now put in your butternut and apple pieces and grated ginger
  Turn the butternut and apples in your spices until you see the butternut breaking down a bit – looks like the sides are
becoming mushy
 Add the orange zest and squish all the juice from orange into the soup pot
 Now add your chicken stock to the hot Milk and let it break down
 Put the stock water into your mixture of butternut and apple
 Let that simmer for a bit then put in your milk

It’s a good idea to taste a bit of it here to make sure you are happy

 After it’s been simmering for a bit add one yogurt and stir – let that simmer for a few minutes again!! Important to
watch the heat it might stick to your pot
 After a few minutes add your last yogurt and stir for a bit

Now you can leave it for a bit with the lid on – constantly stir to make sure it doesn’t stick to the pot

When your butternut is soft take it off the stove and prepare your blender – I used a hand blender so that I can leave the mixture
in the pot to keep it warm.

As soon as its blended and you are happy you can dish up! – take some coriander and a bit of pouring cream in a swirly pattern
and put it on top of the soup
