I am loving that Malawi is experiencing a prolonged winter (or at least my city, being in the mountains), otherwise, I wouldn't have had the chance to make my favorite velvety butternut soup before the heat returned. This is what I call a comforting classic, perfect for any season. Each spoonful is rich, creamy, and nourishing, offering a delightful balance of hearty yet light flavors. I consider it a winter treat because I usually serve it as a wholesome meal rather than just a cozy starter—I simply don’t need anything else after enjoying it.

So there you have it, my #GlobalApron challenge ingredient of choice this round is butternut 😊
