Now is the best time to be using up those leftover winter vegetables and maybe pick up some veggie bargains while the shops have all of the Christmas veg reduced. Our local Tesco had lots of potatoes, parsnips and carrots reduced which would make a great alternative to the butternut squash soup listed below!
This soup is a quick and easy make and freezes well so why not make a huge batch and freeze some for a super quick lunch! Leave out the cream if you are freezing or of course if you have decided to make a resolution that is weight loss – then again Joe from Lean in 15 says cream is a good fat so go on, add a splash! Use an air fryer for the croutons and you have an almost sin free delicious home cooked meal!
