today was  a  little on the chilli side here on the sunshine coast so for lunch we had butternut and chilli soup with a dollop of cream fresh topped of with a little paprika and a warm crusty roll welcome to autumn

It was a tad nippy up north as well, but that soup looks like    in a bowl.

Looks good - made some myself last night.

I like the recipe below for butternut squash soup and Mary Berry has a god one on the BBC Food website - http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/roasted_butternut_squash_10281

Don't always fancy soup tho so I'm going to try this when I find some cavolo nero - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/squash-steaks-chestnut-cavolo-nero-pilaf
