Air Fryer Squash & Harissa Soup

You know that butternut squash languishing on your windowsill … or in the bottom of your fridge?  Time to bring it justice. Turn it into a bowl of bright orange joy – our harissa-spiked recipe is SOUPER easy to make in your air fryer.

Roast vegetables, make better soup

There are two ways to make a good soup base: one, sauté your vegetables in a pan with a little oil, a little salt, and a lid, using a low heat and plenty of patience. Or two – roast them in your air fryer and skip the long waiting time!   

We ❤️ harissa seasoning

It’s from the air fryer spice bundle created by our friends at Seasoned Pioneers. It’s warm with coriander and spicy with chilli seeds! It can be muddled with olive oil to make a drizzle or marinade – here, we just dusted it over our squash chunks before roasting, then added extra to serve.

WFH? Here’s your lunch!

If you find yourself staring in the fridge at lunch time, could we suggest making this soup?  It’s fast, warming, and full of fibre from the fabulous butternut squash.
