This is different than the one I've tried before, but sounds interesting. Shall have to try it!

Butternut squash and sweet potato soup
The digestive dynamo of all soups. If you have a line down the middle of your tongue or teeth marks round the sides, it could be a sign of a weakened spleen and tummy and this soup is for you. It will help you absorb more nutrients from all the foods you eat.

Ingredients
Serves 4

1 butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and diced
1 sweet potato, peeled and diced
2 carrots, trimmed, peeled and sliced
1 fennel bulb, trimmed and chopped
6 shallots, peeled and finely sliced
1 wheat-free vegetable stock cube
1 garlic clove, peeled and chopped
4 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 bunch radishes, trimmed and chopped
4-6 tbsp pumpkin seeds (optional)
Method

Bring a large pan half-filled with water to the boil. Add the squash, sweet potato, carrots, fennel, shallots and stock cube. Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes.

Remove from the heat and add the garlic. Allow to cool, then strain the vegetables into a large bowl and keep the stock.

Add half the stock to the vegetables and blend in a food processor or with a hand-held blender.
