Method
Prep:15min › Cook:35min › Ready in:50min
- Bring 1 litre of lightly salted water to the boil in a large saucepan. Add the prepared vegetables and the garlic, cover and cook gently for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Allow to cool slightly, then tip into a blender or food processor and purée. Add the garlic and soft cheese and blend once more.
- Return the soup to the pan, stir in the herbs and reheat gently. Season to taste.
- Serve the soup with little pieces of the blue cheese scattered over the top and garnish with sprigs of parsley.
COOK SMART
*Don't throw out the squash seeds: wash carefully, toast in a lightly oiled frying pan and sprinkle over a salad. *The soft cheese can be either full-fat or reduced-fat. For extra flavour, use one flavoured with garlic and herbs.
