Butternut Squash & Roast Veg Soup

This is a good recipe for leftover roasted veg and is how I actually invented the recipe!

Roast some veg in chilli infused olive oil - not a lot mind, we are weight watchers after all! I roasted garlic, red onion, red pepper, yellow pepper, courgettes and 1/3 butternut squash. I added some fresh thyme to mine too.

Chop up the rest of the butternut squash and chuck in a pan with some water - enough to amply cover all your veg. Boil up the squash with two chicken stock cubes (or vegetable if you prefer) and then add the roasted veg, instantly the delicious pepper smell hits you.

Boil for a further five minutes then blend. I also sieved mine to get rid of the texture of boiled butternut squash.
