Inspired by mulligatawny soup, a very fragrant Indian dish, this soup ticks all the right boxes of an efficient, comforting autumnal recipe. Make a large quantity of it and freeze it in several portions. To obtain the desired result, butternut squash and carrots are preferred. Add a generous spice mix and split peas to the veggies in the broth, with coconut milk as a finishing touch. A hearty vegetarian recipe to make in batches so that you can always have some on hand to warm up on chilly nights. Hurrah for soup!

Note from Ricardo

Even though we like the sweet flavour of the browned squash, you can save time by adding it directly to the soup without browning it in the skillet first.
