To make this soup, I used butternut squash, red bell pepper, green squash, carrot, red onion, spring onion, and celery as the main vegetables. In addition to these, I also added garlic cloves for extra flavor and lemon juice to add some acidity and kick to the soup. For the broth, I used water because the ingredients already gave it sufficient flavor, but if you prefer, you can always use vegetable stock.
This soup is versatile, and while the ingredients in the recipe are the best combination in my opinion, you can use any other types of vegetables that are available seasonally or in your refrigerator. It’s a great way to make use of the vegetables you have left at the end of a week.
Depending on how hungry you are, you can either have this soup as an appetizer before a main course, or simply serve bigger portions to eat it as a light but fulfilling meal.
