This butternut squash soup is made in a pressure cooker. This makes it so much quicker to prepare. A hearty low-fat vegetable soup that will warm you through! This is one of my family's favourite recipes.

- Heat oil in a pressure cooker; add onion and cook until golden in colour and softened. Add the vegetables and chicken stock, fill with water to a up to just below the level of the vegetables. You can always add more water later if needed.
- Close the cooker and place over medium heat. Let the pressure build and cook for 10 minutes from the moment the cooker whistles. Purée the vegetables with a hand blender and add water to the desired thickness. Stir in the double cream and season to taste with slat and pepper.
- For a nice presentation, serve the soup in bowls with a spoonful of crème fraîche, a few sprigs of chives or coriander leaves and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.
