Carrot & Butternut Squash Soup

October 27, 2022

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It is soup time again here in Dublin so I decided to try some new flavours. I’ve combined carrot and butternut squash with some nice warming spices to create a great soup for a cold day.

I love to make soup at the start of the week and know that I can heat a bowl in the microwave for a quick lunch for my husband and me. Served with toasted cheese or fresh homemade bread and ready to eat in 3 minutes, what’s not to love.
