Butternut squash and sweet potato soup
This recipe was devised by a friend of mine, originally made to use up the fresh coriander and coconut milk that was leftover from making the Spice Pots Goan Fish Curry. She’s done a cracking job – it is a really tasty warming soup packed with fresh vegetables. The coconut milk gives it a lovely sweetness and creamy consistency.
