Butternut Squash, Chilli and Coconut Soup
There’s nothing better than homemade soup to warm the soul on a cold, wet day but unless you’re a seasoned soup cook, it can be difficult to get the taste and consistency right. We developed our new soup maker to take away this pain and uncertainty, yet still give you the flexibility to make delicious smooth or chunky soup to suit your taste.
