Butternut squash soup with chilli & crème fraîche

Absolutely love this soup will become a favourite! Didn't buy creme fraiche used plain yoghurt 😋

I liked this. I had it twice in a week. For a variation I added butter beans and a little feta cheese. The chilli flavour grew milder after a few days. It kept really well in the fridge. I think I'd use ready cut chunks of squash next time.

Specifically was looking for a recipe with creme fraiche - very creamy. Instead of adding chili peppers I seasoned the butternut squash with Tajin and let it bake, blended in a stand blender, and then added scallops once it came to a simmer.

Can't go wrong with a good butternut squash soup. I also added sage

Velvet-smooth and delicious. The heat varies enormously with the chillies but then I like the variations. I swap mayo in for Creme Fraiche to be dairy-free.

Added the butternut straight to the pan once the stock was added, brought to the boil then simmered until soft. Didn't bother roasting in the oven. Doesn't need the creme fraiche added. Delicious with warm buttered crusty bread.

Hearty autumn dish, however, would add some curry powder or ginger to spice it up next time.
