    OK this is superb - very very easy to make - I used on fresh red chillie (de-seeded). I added 750ml of stock and after it was cooked and I had blitzed it I added about half a pint of skimmed milk (trying to watch the figure!!). I didn't add the cheese for the same reason. Wow - beautiful colour, rich and creamy soup, with a little bit of zing to warm things up. Very very easy - chop, sweat, boil, blitz, eat!! Definitely going on my favourites list.

    I've made this soup so many times and people who eat it always comment on how good it is. Super easy to make and so tasty. I always add 800ml rather than the 500ml suggested, I personally find it too thick otherwise

    Delicious soup. I used half butternut squash and half sweet potato with some chicken stock. Tasty result!

    Do you think this recipe would work with butternut squash as well? Would I need to roast it first to get more flavour?

    Yum! Took the advise above and used 1 litre of stock rather than 750ml. Really nice soup, very creamy and sweet, but with enough kick from the chilli to counter this. Lovely and filling, great for work lunches. Have frozen the extra into portions, so hope it freezes well.

    This is one of the easiest and most delicious soup recipes I have ever tried. Brilliant - especially with a swirl of cream, the cheese and paprika!

    Really nice soup. Lovely and thick and warming. I find it's improved by a twist of lime juice to cut through and add another dimension. This was great for yesterdays lunch and will be again tomorrow! :-)

    My first time making soup and this was sooo simple! Had no coriander so left it out but the end result was still very nice. Followed the advice of others and used 800ml of stock, and glad i did as otherwise it would have just been chilli mash! served topped with mature cheddar, and wheaten bread on the side.
