You can eat them sweet or sour, fried, roasted, filled, grated, wrapped in puff pastry or pureed. I love them as a cream soup and wanted to share with you yet another recipe. I really like piquant and nippy things so I used spicy olive oil. If you don&#8217;t have any, you can add hot Cayenne chilli pepper or chilli powder.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Carrot-Butternut-Squash-Creamy-Soup.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5041 \" src=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Carrot-Butternut-Squash-Creamy-Soup.png\" alt=\"carrot-butternut-squash-creamy-soup\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Carrot-Butternut-Squash-Creamy-Soup-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Carrot-Butternut-Squash-Creamy-Soup-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Carrot-Butternut-Squash-Creamy-Soup-450x299.png 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Carrot-Butternut-Squash-Creamy-Soup.png 1136w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Ingredients for\u00a04 portions:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>700\u00a0g butternut squash<\/li>\n<li>300 g carrots<\/li>\n<li>125 ml single cream<\/li>\n<li>100 g chestnuts (ready to use, roasted or boiled)<\/li>\n<li>3 tbsp. olive oil<\/li>\n<li>1 tbsp. mustard<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp. salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Butternut-Squash-Soup-Ingredients.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5039 \" src=\"http:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Butternut-Squash-Soup-Ingredients.png\" alt=\"butternut-squash-soup-ingredients\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Butternut-Squash-Soup-Ingredients-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Butternut-Squash-Soup-Ingredients-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Butternut-Squash-Soup-Ingredients-450x299.png 450w, https:\/\/harryandlexy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Butternut-Squash-Soup-Ingredients.png 1136w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-2 hundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-overflow:visible;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-1 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last fusion-column-no-min-height\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-margin-bottom:0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><!-- Start GADSWPV-3.9 --><div id=\"ga_os_10859895\" style=\"text-align: center; overflow: visible; visibility: visible;\">\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n     apntag.anq.push(function() {\r\n        apntag.showTag('ga_os_10859895');\r\n        });\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<br><!-- End GADSWPV-3.9 --><p> <script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Ad 3 -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8204055174938380\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2323002750\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Preparation:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Peel and dice the butternut squash, carrots and onion.<\/li>\n<li>In a large saucepan, heat up the olive oil and cook the squash, carrots and onion over medium heat.<\/li>\n<li>Stir in the mustard and salt.
