Roasted Butternut Squash, Butterbean, and Cumin Soup

Wow, just realised it's been two months since my last blog post. It's been a hectic few months with early pregnancy (and associated sickness), and having a lot of work which needs to get done before I go on leave in February. My recipe backlog is now getting out of hand. Once again I make promises to myself to blog more regularly... we'll see how that goes.

Anyway, this autumnal soup is perfect for the shorter days and colder evenings. I loved it. The butterbeans add a creaminess to the soup and a lovely texture. The coriander is not necessary so if you are one of those unfortunate people for whom coriander tastes like soap (which is potentially down to your genes), then just omit it. I also garnished with fresh chillies; if you also do, I would recommend a swirl of sour cream if you have it on hand (I didn't) as it would be a perfect compliment for their heat.
