Silky Squash Soup Recipe

The mix of squash in this soup lends it a beautiful silky texture, providing a warming autumnal hug. We have 4 different types of organic squash in the farm shop at the moment, and they keep very well so you can have them as decoration to start off with. The squash soup also freezes well so you can make a large batch, then portion it out.
