Quick and Easy Butternutsquash soup


Quick Post...


Hello again Readers! Just a quick post today, as some of you will know if you follow my social media, Ella-Grace has a viral infection. She has been so unsettled and all my efforts have been going into trying to cheer her up and make her feel better. I was actually going to skip a week of blogging but with Ella-Grace down for a nap I thought I would share this quick, yummy recipe.

I think it was Thursday evening, Ella-Grace was unwell and I was exhausted. Really didn't want to cook but obviously I had to as Ella-Grace always eats what we eat so if I didn't cook a healthy meal for myself and Reece that would mean she would not be having a good meal which she obviously needs. So with my beautiful girl in mind, I thought to myself what is healthy, easy to eat and one of Ella-Graces favourite's? The answer being butternut-squash, so I decided to make butternut-squash soup. I had made a lot of soups before it is one of my favourite things to make and eat, I was expecting this soup not to turn out great to be honest because I just kind of threw a few different vegetables in a pot with stock and cooked it but it turned out so yummy! Ella-Grace had two bowls! I also managed to make the exact right amount which is something I never manage to do - I always make too much- but this time I managed to make a bowl for me, Reece, Ella-Grace and a second bowl for Ella-Grace's lunch tomorrow.

  • - 1/2 bag of frozen butternut-squash
