This soup is made from the remnant’s of my weekly beloved Veg Box and it is absolutely delicious.

The three Little Gem Squashes were sitting unloved in the corner of my fridge so I decided to use them. As with the Black Ban Soup I do like to use some crushed Tortilla’s sprinkled over the top when service to add a little crunch.
