  6. Then add the garlic and thyme and cook for a further 2 minutes.
  7. Add the roasted butternut and tomatoes and stir well.
  8. Pour in the stocks and bring to the boil.
  9. Season well with salt and pepper and simmer for 20 minutes
  10. Blend with a handheld blender until smooth.
  11. Serve with toasted SPAR Freshline ciabatta and/or croutons
