    1 Heat the oil in a large saucepan (that has a lid) over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 5 min or until softened. Add the squash, carrot, garlic, ginger and nutmeg, if using. Stir and continue to cook for a few min. Add the stock and bring to the boil, then lower the heat, cover the pan with the lid and simmer for about 20 min or until the vegetables are tender.

    2 Remove the pan from the heat, then blend the soup until smooth using a blender, food processor or stick blender.
