This tasty butternut squash recipe (opens in new tab) is a great light soup with a touch of summer. Carrots and coriander make this orange soup pop even brighter, and add a whole lot of important nutrients to your meal. The soup takes a while to make, but it’s worth the wait. Start making the soup by gently frying some onions, ginger and garlic for even more veggie goodness, add seasoning, carrots and butternut squash and cook until ready. Finish the soup by simply puréeing the soup until it’s smooth and thick, and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top.
