Pumkin Soup

I had this butternut squash in my fridge for almost 3 weeks. After seeing Arjuna’s Pumkin-carrot soup I wanted to try it so brought it and yestered I finally used it for making soup. Check out Arjuna’s recipes here.

I made this for evening, instead of our regular coffee/tea. I used the recipe of tomoto soup wanted to make it simple at possible. I was perfect for the rainy evening and we had it with tosted garlic bread (store brought).

Ingredients
