Weather like this is perfect for Soup, I love a good hearty Soup and my Jamaican Spicy Chicken & Butternut Squash Soup is hearty flavoursome and damn right delicious.
This is a staple in my house when it’s cold outside and I want something warm and filling I always go for this soup it’s so homely. I love the fact that you can play around with it, I love to add different vegs to it and every time it comes out great.
If you’re looking for a hearty homely soup with a little bit of spice, this soup is for you
When it comes to making soup I tend to use the pressure cooker as it makes life a lot easier, I just brown the chicken in the pressure cooker just don’t add the lid and brown off the meat it works a dream and less cleaning up to do after. Then throw everything else in.
I know some of you are going to see Scotch Bonnet Pepper and be like no way am I going to try this recipe it will be way too hot, but because the Scotch Bonnet is not cut and is only placed on top of the soup while it cooks it gives it a gentle warmth.
