butternut squash makes the best soup ever - it goes all lovely and velvety and smooth. I either make one with stuff like sage, rosemary and thyme or with ginger, cumin and ground coriander, with fresh coriander to garnish.

Yum yum. Plenty of black pepper/

I've recently discovered butternut squash and made butternut ginger and orange soup a few weeks ago. I loved it, Dh wasn't too impressed, said it was too tasty.
I can put the recipe on tomorrow if anyone is interested. It was very easy.

I se it in stews as a thickener )

Came out ok. Tasted great, it just wasn't as smooth as I would have liked it. DH said I should stir it alot more.
Having leftovers tonight.

Thanks Tasja

Yours too please Peachygirl!
