Butternut squash and chilli soup

[FurForksSake]

Last autumn I made a version of the Bol power soup and it was really good. I based it on the ingredients list

butternut squash
carrots
cannellini beans
red lentils
sweet potato
tumeric
ginger
coriander
chilli flakes
black pepper
mango
veg stock

Im going to make a big batch next week, what could I add to increase the protein and fibre or do you think it’s fairly decent a lunch as it is?

It sounds delicious already but I’d add onions and garlic.

My favourite soup flavour ever!

I was considering a base of onion and garlic. I can’t remember if I did last year. I can’t think it will change the flavour massively.

@familyissues12345mine too! The Bol one is really good but pricey for a regular lunch. I froze it last year and it kept and reheated really well.

A spoonful of Thai curry paste works a treat when you are frying off!

I make soup regularly in my soup kettle ~ my favourite additions are coconut milk, tin of sweetcorn added after it’s all finished cooking so it’s not blended for some bulk.
you can add some celery too as it’ll add fibre but doesn’t affect the flavour too much

Would you recommend a soup kettle? I think I will try some sweetcorn in a portion and make a decision. Thanks!

Sorry wrong person tagged @chunkybear would you recommend a soup kettle? Are there any particular good soups you make?

Sprinkle on some (pumpkin) seeds and fresh coriander to serve

You could swirl some kefir into it.

Oh I hadn’t thought about pumpkin seeds! That would up the healthy!

I’ve never tried kefir @deirdrerasheeddoes it just taste like yoghurt?

Yes its just runny yoghurt. I buy it in thePolish shop or Sainsbury's.
