At this year's Nelson Mandela Day fundraising event, the Wonderbag team will be serving a warming, nutritious soup to guests from our Wonderbags. Our soup is inspired by a Butternut Squash Soup recipe created by Xoliswa Ndoyiya, who served as the personal chef to Nelson Mandela for over 20 years.
Deliciously creamy, this butternut squash soup is a quick and comforting meal.
