This recipe was conjured up due to the very sudden drop in temperature this month. I thought the people of Cardiff really needed somthing to knock their socks off and heat them up from the inside out, and what better than using the abundance of squash we are graced with in this country and spicing it up a little? The magic ingredient in this soup is the Smoked Paprika which can be bought from Spice of Life. It gives the soup such a hearty flavour, I’ve even had people ask if I’d been using a vegetarian stock! Come on!!!

At Riverside Market I serve this soup with a sage and walnut pesto and some Perl Las cheese, the combinations really make me proud to be using such amazing ingredients!
