Michelle's Freefrom Curried Squash Soup

Corn, egg, gluten, lactose, milk, nut, peanut, sesame, soya & wheat free

This is a lovely creamy, warming soup - even though it does not contain any cream! If you want it to be spicier, you can use some gluten/wheat-free curry paste once the soup is cooked to ‘spice it up’ a bit more. Just add soup little by little to a teaspoon of curry paste in a small bowl then stir into the soup.
