Brr, it’s cold outside. Time for some soup!
I’m collaborating with Urban Outfitters again and have used their adorable Soup Mugs to create this warming winter soup. With sweet butternut squash and spicy chilli.
Butternut squash is one of my favourite ingredients in a soup because it gives such a creamy, smooth and silky texture. Plus that delicious sweet flavour. Mmm!

There is something so comforting about eating soup from a mug. I think it’s that you can warm your hands up as your eat and alternate between using a spoon and sipping.
Warms you up inside and out :-)
This soup also makes use of the seeds from the squash, so nothing goes to waste! Simply fry the seeds in a little garlic olive oil for a lovely crouton alternative.
This soup is:
