I like soup. No, I love soup! I can eat it anytime, anywhere, any kind, in any weather.

When I was growing up there was never a Sunday without chicken soup with homemade noodles (which is still my favourite to this day). I make soups quite often, depending on my mood, or at a request from my family, they usually reflect the produce that is in season and the temperatures outside. 

This is a wintery one - smooth, creamy, with a bit of a kick and warmth from the curry and some sweetness from the butternut squash, sweet potato and fennel. It can also be vegan if you use vegetable stock or water as your liquid.
