Butternut Squash and Curry Soup

I love this soup, it's so creamy and spicy good for a cold day with a nice slice of homemade bread, totally comfort food. I make my own curry paste with oil and mixed spices, or you can just use some curry powder made into a paste with a little water I have used both in the past.
