Butternut squash soup with coconut and chipotle

The combination of the sweetness of the butternut squash, the creaminess of the coconut milk and the smokey, spicy chipotle chilli flakes creates this light but very moreish soup. You could add some freshly cooked crispy croutons for some added texture or enjoy it as it is.
