yesterday's soup... approximately

Every time I make soup it's different, which is a little sad on the days it works out perfectly, but this is life.

Pumpkin, butternut squash, sweet potato soup with leek and quinoa.

Fry a couple onions gently. One might even say sautée.
Add about 2 tsps cinnamon and 1 tsp curry powder to the oil and mix it about a bit.
Add half a small  peeled, chopped hokkaido pumpkin*, 2 small peeled and chopped sweet potatoes, one small butternut squash. Of course you can use big ones, if you want a big hape o' soup :)
Pour in enough cold water to slightly more than cover the veg - this can be trial and error, or just go with whatever your soup recipe says.
Add bouillion powder unless you're fancy and have stock ready, or any other insto-stock solution you like to go with. I chopped a leek and put it in too, fairly big slices, and put in a handful of quinoa  grain, for protein. I'm not a huge quinoa fan, so I like it in soup where I can't really taste it :)
Bring it all to the boil and then simmer for approx 15 mins.
Blend it with a handy hand blender, perhaps one your godmother gave you about 16 years ago and is still in perfect nick.

Oops, was half way through lunch before I realised I should take a photo... 

* you could add the whole thing, no problem, but I decided half way through I wanted to make cake with the rest. You can get these at the Dennis Healy organic market stalls, or a good organic veg shop. They're rich and tasty and full of good things for you, not the same as normal halloween pumpkins.
