Butternut soup
Butternut soup is a perfect, any-time soup that is extremely tasty. Perfect for those freezing winter days! You can use pumpkin instead of butternut if you feel like a flavour change. If you have one of those hand blenders use that in the pot. If you don’t go here to get one, they are the handiest things in the kitchen. (4 people)
