Spicy squash & parsnip soup
Spicy (medium) and sweet, warming soup. Can be eaten as a starter or main course as it's quite filling. For a low-fat option, you can use more stock instead of the coconut milk. You can also vary the 'heat' of the spiciness by leaving out the chilli.

Preparation and cooking times
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
- Place the butternut squash and parsnips onto a baking tray and drizzle with the honey and olive oil.
- Place in the oven to roast for 30-40 minutes, or until tender.
- Then heat a frying pan until hot and add the onion and garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes until the onions become translucent.
- Add the butternut squash, parsnips, chilli and spices to the onions and garlic and stir the ingredients until everything is pretty much coated with the spices.
- Now add the coconut milk and stir gently over a low-medium heat, being careful not to burn the mixture, for 3-4 minutes.
- Transfer this mixture to a food processor and blend to a smooth consistency.
- Now add the stock to the food processor and blend more.
- Finally transfer the soup to a saucepan, heat through and season, to taste, with salt and black pepper.
- To serve, ladle the soup into serving bowls and place a spoonful of creme fraiche on the top. This is also nice with fresh bread roll on the side.
