Spicy squash & parsnip soup

14 ingredients Serves 2 openrecipes

Spicy (medium) and sweet, warming soup. Can be eaten as a starter or main course as it's quite filling. For a low-fat option, you can use more stock instead of the coconut milk. You can also vary the 'heat' of the spiciness by leaving out the chilli.
