Return the Butternut puree to the pan & stir in enough reserved liquid to reach the preferred consistency.

Season to taste with nutmeg & cracked black pepper.

Ladle the soup into bowls & pour some of the live yogurt into each bowl to create a swirl pattern on the top.

Sprinkle with nutmeg, serve with fresh rye bread & enjoy.
