Type of squash
This time I did not use an actual butternut squash but the (unknown) type pictured here, it was just as good!
Chef's note
I did not have enough 'proper' chicken stock so I cheated and used one and a half Knorr chicken stock cubes in 2 pints of boiling water and I have to say the soup was still exquisite.
