Winter Soup

This soup is perfect to make in the winter months! It's warming, creamy, filling and packed with vegetables. I had half a butternut squash left over and decided to make a soup using any other vegetables I had in the fridge.

Ingredients:

(Serves 4)

1 onion

2 cloves of garlic

1 red chilli

1/2 butternut squash

1 sweet potato

3 carrots

1 tin coconut milk

1L vegetable stock

1 stick cinnamon

1/2 tsp paprika

1 tsp cumin

Chilli flakes

Salt/pepper

Instructions:

1. Chop all vegetables. There's no need to chop them finely as you will blend it in the end.

2. Fry the onion, garlic and chilli with olive oil in a large pot.

3. Add the chopped butternut squash, sweet potato, carrots and all spices. Stir well.

4. Add in the tin of coconut milk, vegetable stock and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil and then turn down the heat to simmer for 30 - 40 minutes.

5. By this time, the vegetables should be soft enough to blend. Using a hand blender, blend all of the ingredients in the pot until you reach the consistency you like.

6. You can serve with a handful of coriander and bread!
