Have you tried this delicious Curried Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup yet? No! - then what are you waiting for?

This is one of those soups where you combine some tasty and wholesome ingredients into a pot. Season with different spices. Let it do its work and voila a pot of comforting goodness that will keep you well fueled on cold winter or busy days.

It's an awesome soup for freezing. So feel free to double or even triple up the ingredients for this Curried Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup and then you will have plenty left over to freeze up in handy little tubs.

Whenever I make soup I always start off with a base of onion, carrots and garlic  (occasionally leeks or celery too). Then I select whatever spices/seasonings I think will compliment the main ingredients of the soup I am making. As I was adding chicken and butternut squash, I decided a curry type flavour would be perfect.

Usually when making soup, if I am not adding protein of some sort then I will usually add a grain or some legumes to bulk it up, unless of course I am being super healthy and fueling myself up one packed with just speed foods. This does have a good ratio of speed foods too.

Best of all, this Curried Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup is gluten and dairy free and also suitable for someone following a paleo or Whole30.

The hardest part of this Curried Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup is the chopping up on the vegetables, once that's done, you can get on with some other things about the house and in approx 45 minutes your house will be filled with the delicious aroma  and all that is left for you do, is grab a few bowls, ladle some in and dig in and enjoy!!
