Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Eating well comes down to preparation. Soup is the perfect meal for this as you can make a big batch and portion it up for the weeks lunches. I find this soup keeps for around 4-5 days in the fridge. You can always freeze it too. This recipe or plant based, vegan friendly. If you need more fat in your diet you could add butter.

I find this recipe feeds 2-3 hungry people.
