Spicy butternut squash soup


This is a great winter warmer with the addition of chilli and is quick and easy to make.  Soups are great as they can be a meal in themselves and can be surprisingly filling. 

This soup has an added creamy taste and texture from the peanut butter.  Chilli has the added bonus of providing pain-killing properties.  The ingredients for this soup are for 4 servings so if you do not want this much on the day, you can freeze some for another time.
