Ridiculously easy butternut squash soup!

Over the past few weeks, I have gotten really into making soups – they are easy, delicious and perfect in this cold weather. This butternut squash and cinnamon recipe is so simple it could be whipped up in your sleep.

Packed with nutrients and flavour, this modest little recipe has become one of my favorite winter warmers.
