It's probably nice and warm in South Africa right now. You lucky lucky folks!
Since it's below zero temperatures in Colorado, I think I'll share with you a delicious butternut soup recipe. This recipe tastes quite like the Woolworths butternut soup. It's beyond yummy. Dear husband does not eat butternut and after tasting this soup he was literally scraping the pot for more.
A few notes:
1) If you don't have heavy cream make it yourself with milk and butter. Just add 1/4 cup of butter, melt on a pan. Then add 1/3 cup of milk. Mix, let it simmer in low heat then follow recipe instructions. Also note that this heavy cream concoction is just me eyeballing it but it worked out great. Rich and creamy.
2) For non South Africans: Woolworths, fondly known as Woolies, is an awesome grocery and clothing chain store that's slightly expensive but sells good quality products.
3) I'm obsessed with butternut! In fact I don't think I've ever met a South African who doesn't enjoy butternut.
4) I customized the recipe slightly by adding a teaspoon of dark brown cane sugar to sweeten it up a bit. And instead of the called for apples I used whatever apples were in my fruit basket. Even the fresh sage was substituted for ground sage.
So all in all have fun and make it your own. My pantry almost never has all the ingredients these cookbooks/cooking websites suggest and that's alright. My life motto: Do what you can with what you have.

Look at how ours turned out.Yum Yum!
