This recipe is perfect for the fall and provides plenty of flavor. The yellow butternut squash is a real gem which is perfect to use for soup. To help the flavors along and make everything a bit more interesting we have added a can of coconut milk which gives a lovely background hint, along with some curry and the zest and juice from an orange. The result is a very delicious soup which isn't overpowering, yet full of flavor.
