Vegan Curried Butternut Squash Soup

I am a huge fan of autumn. It is not too cold, the trees look amazing, I get to wear both boots and cardigans and I don’t get strange looks when I eat soup! Yes I am that strange person who looks forward to autumn for these 3 main things. I have been slightly obsessed with making butternut squash recipe over the past few weeks but this one in particular has to be favourite.

This is a recipe for butternut squash soup that you have to save in your bookmarks – or even better press print and make it today! I made a double batch and froze it in little zip-lock bag portions and it is just perfect for busy days. Another great tip is to store in a mini muffin tin so you have little baby sized portions on hand always! When they are frozen, pop them out and place into freezer bags then label. When you come home from work at 6pm and your baby is REALLY hungry and can’t wait for food (which was always the case in our house), you can pop a little portion into a bowl and straight into the microwave. They defrost in less than 5 minutes! Serve with a little brown bread to soak it up and place it in front of your little one then let them get to work.
