Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180° C
  2. Cut your butternut squash in half lengthways and scoop out the seeds.

Notes

This soup is best served fresh but will keep fine in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days. This recipe is also perfect for freezing, so is a great recipe to batch-cook.
