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.
