Butternut squash, sweet potato and chestnut soup with smoked sausage
Ingredients
- 1 small butternut squash
- 1 sweet potato
- 300g dried chestnuts (soaked in water for 2 hours)
- 1 large onion
- 1 celery stick
- 2 small carrots
- Few thyme springs
- 1 litre chicken stock
- 250ml fresh cream (Benna)
- Fresh seasoning
- 1 smoked Maltese sausage
- 2 tbsp butter
Method
Melt the butter in a deep pot. Peel, chop and fry the onion, celery and carrots. Add to the hot melted butter and fry gently with the herbs until soft. Peel the butternut squash cut in half, discard the seeds and chop the flesh. Add to the fried vegetables and cook for a few minutes. Add the chestnut seasoning and the chicken stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes or until the chestnuts are soft. Pour in the cream and simmer for another 10 minutes. Remove the herbs from the soup and puree into a creamy velvety consistency. Chop the smoke sausage to shallow fry for a few minutes, until crispy. Serve the soup piping hot garnished with a few drops of cream and crispy sausage.
