Hi! I’m Andy

Welcome to my kitchen.
I hope to inspire you to grow as a home cook!

This is a great one, folks; we’re going to be mixing soup and pasta- The best of both worlds! It’s a super simple recipe that is just perfect for this time of year. Once you start, you won’t want to stop; let’s get into this Butternut Squash Ravioli Soup!

Frozen or Fresh, you decide! 

This recipe is all about quickness and ease. I like to use frozen vegetables just because I often don’t have time to start from scratch, and that’s totally fine!

There’s a debate about the health benefits of using frozen vs fresh produce; personally, from what I’ve seen, there isn’t much difference between the two, but you do what feels right for you!

Tip on nailing this Butternut Squash and Ravioli soup.

It’s all about building flavour from the start. When you add in your aromatics (garlic, onion), make sure to cook them down to crate as much flavour as possible. It’s good to note there is a difference between brown and burnt. Don’t let them overcook and start to dry out, as they’ll make your beautiful soup super bitter.

Test before you blitz! 

We want to make a super creamy base for our little ravioli to live in. When you’re checking the chunks of squash to see if they’re ready for the blender, make sure you look at the larger pieces. If your chunks are still a little firm, let them bubble away. We don’t want a grainy/gritty soup!

A good way to avoid this is to make sure all of your squash is the same size and cut slightly smaller just for added measures! A great immersion blender helps too!
