Butternut Squash and Chickpea Soup with Saffron and Pecorino by Gordon Ramsay

This nourishing soup is made with butternut squash, chickpea, coconut cream, Italian hard cheese, and plenty of fresh ginger and saffron. It’s robust, has a lovely silky texture and super tasty. Serve this as a starter for a dinner party or a filling supper with crusty buttered bread when you need a bit of comfort. This soup keeps well in the fridge and is easy to freeze.

1 Garlic clove, chopped
1 pc 3-inch Fresh ginger root, peeled and thinly sliced
50 g Butter, coconut oil or olive oil
0.2 g Saffron powder
600 g Butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and roughly chopped
500 ml Homemade broth (vegetables, chicken or beef)

In a large heavy saucepan, sauté garlic and ginger in the butter over a low heat until aromatic. Add the saffron, pumpkin and half the broth, then cook over a low heat, with the lid on, until the pumpkin is almost cooked.
Add the cooked chickpeas, the remaining broth, coconut cream and plenty of cracked black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, with the lid on, and cook for about 15 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to process the soup until smooth. Season with salt, then add nutmeg to taste. Stir in the grated Percorino cheese and ladle into soup cups. Drizzle some pumpkin seed oil over and top with a few chives and pepitas.

Skinny Beer Cheese Apple Soup (Instant Pot) — The Skinny Fork by Gordon Ramsay

As we get closer to my all time favorite month of October, I naturally start to gravitate towards beer-centric recipes. I guess it has something to do with Oktoberfest, that or there tends to be more pumpkin spice beers readily available, and those are super fun to play with in the kitchen.

In fact, an ‘October’ themed beer is what I used in this Skinny Beer Cheese Apple Soup! Don’t let the ‘skinny’ title of this soup fool you, it tastes AMAZING. Apples and cheese go together like peas and carrots, throw some beer in there too and you’ve got it made.

Oxtail Soup – Gluten Free, Keto by Gordon Ramsay

Oxtail Soup is a clear broth soup that makes use of oxtail as the main ingredient, together with fresh ginger, star anise, chilli pepper flakes, pak choi, spring onions, and cilantro. The oxtail is the tail of a steer, usually skinned and cut into several sections. It’s marbled with fat and the meat is gelatinous and flavourful, therefore it’s ideal for slow cooking, braising or in soups.


1.2 kg Oxtails, cut into about 4-5 pieces 3-4 slice Ginger, peeled 3 Whole star anise 1 tsp Whole white peppercorns 750 ml Homemade beef broth 750 ml Water Salt to taste 2 Spring onions, chopped 1/2 bunch Cilantro, chopped Baby pak choi 1 Lime, cut into wedges Chilli pepper flakes Ginger, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Place the oxtails on a baking tray and roast for 30 minutes. Remove the roasted oxtails from the oven and place them in the Instant Pot with ginger slices, star anise, peppercorns, beef broth and water. Cover and set to “Soup”, 30 minutes.
When the oxtails are done cooking, let the pressure release naturally. If you’re in a hurry, just release the pressure manually after 30 minutes has elapsed.
Arrange pak choi in 2 soup bowls. Add in a piece of oxtail or two, and then ladle the soup into the soup bowls. Garnish with lime wedges, crushed red pepper flakes, ginger matchsticks, cilantro, and green onions.
