Butternut squash and red pepper soup

Well this is a double whammy – I have for you a delicious recipe for a butternut squash and red pepper soup AND a giveaway from St Helen’s Farm.

First thing’s first I need to clear something up – for those of you who don’t like the taste of goat’s cheese please don’t think this recipe is not for you. Yes, it uses goat’s milk but I still think you will like it. It doesn’t taste ‘goaty’ you see, well not if you use the stuff from St Helen’s Farm.

There’s a little video of the recipe here:

And there’s also a little bit of info on goat’s milk products and why they are such good news, both nutritionally and from a flavour point of view here from Helen, a dietitian:

The recipe is below and the giveaway for this amazing hamper is under that too.
