Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Peel and cut

    Peel the red kuri squash and the potatoes. Cut them into cubes of about 2 cm. Finely chop the onion.

  2. Cook the onion

    Heat the oil in the saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3 min without browning.

  3. Add the vegetables

    Add the squash and potato cubes to the saucepan. Stir well with the onion.

    Tip · For a creamier soup, roughly mash the potatoes before adding them to the squash.
  4. Add broth and cook

    Add 500 ml of hot water, crumble in the vegetable bouillon cube and stir. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Let it simmer, covered, for 20 min.

  5. Blend the soup

    Take the saucepan off the heat. Blend the soup until smooth. If it's too thick, add a little hot water.

  6. Season the soup

    Put the soup back over low heat. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Taste and adjust if needed.

  7. Toast the bread

    While the soup cooks, cut the bread into two thick slices. Toast them dry in the nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 min per side.

    Tip · For crisp toasts, toast the bread just before serving, not before cooking the soup.
  8. Melt the cheese on the toasts

    Take the toasts off the heat. Spread half the grated cheese over each slice. Put them back over low heat for 1 min to melt the cheese.

  9. Serve the soup

    Ladle the soup into two bowls. Set a cheesy toast next to each bowl.

Pantry salt, oil and spices aren't counted. Your store and your brands will move the total, but the ballpark is right.

How long does it keep?

Eat it fresh. Bread and wraps get soggy when they sit with the filling. Prep the filling ahead if you want, and put it together the day you eat it!
