Chunky & hearty with wonderful flavours, this is such a delicious soup!

Butternut Squash, Parsnip & Kale Soup

Chunky & hearty with wonderful flavours, I am completely obsessed with this Butternut Squash, Parsnip & Kale Soup. It is delicious and perfect for the cold weather. The spices are very warming and the chickpeas make it a complete meal.

Kale is added just before serving so it stays crunchy but if you wish, you can cook it slightly longer until it wilts. If you prefer not to add kale, then top this soup up with fresh coriander instead.

Serve it with warm crunchy bread and a dash of smoked paprika on top.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. If you do make it, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
