spicy soup

KK made soup for lunch. She declared it was butternut squash and something about us 'weeping' it was so good.

Much to her annoyance, a spice lid accident caused it to end up Really Quite Spicy. But it was perfect for warming us on a damp day, and even the ginger two enjoyed it.

2 onions sweated in butter
I just ADORE saying that.
Add diced butternut squash (+ diced apple if it grabs you) & swish about for a few mins
Add 3 tbsp flour, 2 tsp curry powder, grate of nutmeg
Around 750 ml chicken stock, 375 ml milk, zest & juice of 1 orange. Simmer 20 mins or until veg is cooked.
Blend and season

Feed the masses.
