Spicy Butternut Squash and Chickpea Soup

Recipes »  Soups, Stews and Chili  »  Vegetable

A nice hearty soup for a cold winter's evening.

I modify this recipe by cooking up 2 rashers sliced smoked bacon in the pot, cooking the onions down in the fat.

Also does nicely with chopped roast gammon added for non-vegetarian winter fare.
