You wouldn't normally think of squash and shrimp as a natural food combination but this soup is truly delicious - and the ingredients will keep everyone at the table guessing! You can make two variations: either with milk as listed or make it lighter by using the juice of one lemon instead. Black pepper ground over the top is essential.

1000 ml boiling water
2 chicken stock cubes
200 g frozen shrimp

50 g butter (optional)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Put the squash, boiling water, stock cubes, apple and shrimp into a large saucepan.
2. Heat until boiling, then reduce heat and let simmer for 20 minutes until the squash is tender.
3. Blitz in a blender until the soup is smooth.
4. Stir in the milk or lemon juice.
5. Ladle into bowls and season with salt and black pepper.
