CREAMY AND SPICY BUTTERNUT SOUP.

This is one of my favourite soup recipes and it tastes so good. Keeping yourself warm during these cold days is extremely important and what's better than a hot bowl of fresh soup?

Serves up to 4 people

Ingredients:

- 1 butternut

- 2 shallots

- 2 cloves of garlic

- 1 red chili pepper

Recipe:

1. Peel the butternut, cut it in two, remove the seeds and cut it in large pieces.

2. Peel the shallots and garlic, cut them in fine small pieces.
