Carrot and Butternut squash Soup

This dish I made as the starter for a 4 course Carrot inspired dinner
Soup : Carrot and Butternut squash Soup

steps

1. brown shallots and garlic in butter and olive oil
   
2. add carrots (peeled and cut to smaller pieces) and Butternut squash
   
3. add vegetable stock and curry powder
   
4. leave to simmer until soft... but not loosing color ...
   
5. blend with a handblender ... you could additionally sieve it to get an even smoother soup...I also stir in a bit of double cream for extra velvety softness and add seasoning to my liking ...
6. Plate up... I add a bit of double cream on top for looks and serve with hot bread
   
   A full on explosion of flavor in your mouth, a very hearty soup for scandinavian winter evenings ...
