Step by step
Place the red onion, celery, garlic and carrot into the bowl of the Cook Processor fitted with the Multiblade and pulse for 5-10 seconds until roughly chopped.
Replace the Multiblade with the StirAssist. Add the olive oil and select Boil P2. Press Start to activate the programme.
After Step 1, add the remaining ingredients and press Start to continue.
After the programme has finished, remove the bay leaf and replace the Stir Assist with the Multiblade. Pulse the machine for 15-20 seconds or until the soup is smooth.
This soup can be frozen for up to a month, simply divide into portions and freeze in sealable bags. Defrost before reheating.
When in season, you can make this soup with any variety of edible squash such as pumpkin.
If you have carrots lying around needing to be used you can make this with a mixture of vegetables, using half butternut squash, half carrots (omitting the carrots already in the recipe).
