Butternut Squash, Carrot and Ginger Soup does the job perfectly.

When the weather is cold and I need some cheering up I aways turn to food! and this Heartwarming Butternut Squash, Carrot and Ginger Soup does the job perfectly.

The butternut squash makes its just that bit sweeter, the ginger gives it the perfect kick and some coconut milk for that smooth creaminess.

I am a bit slapdash when it comes to soup, in fact I am the same when I cook anything! I just don’t like things to take time. Food to me should be fuss free and hearty.

So I have made this recipe super simple and easy to follow.
