Method of Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 190°C. Roast the butternut squash for 40 minutes or until it is soft to the touch.

2. Cooking the Vegetables:

• In a deep non-stick frying pan, heat some olive oil.

• Add in all the chopped ingredients: garlic, ginger, carrot, red onion, and a squirt of tomato puree.

• Mix in 1 tsp of Thai paste and turmeric, as well as the kaffir leaves. Stir everything until the vegetables start to take on some color.




3. Adding Broth and Coconut Milk:

• Pour in your chicken bone broth or vegetarian stock.

• Squeeze the juice from the lime into the pan and toss in the lime halves.

• Next, add the coconut milk and a whole chilli. Let everything simmer for around 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.




4. Finishing Up:

• When the butternut squash is cooked, carefully cut it in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.

• Roughly chop the flesh and add it to the soup base. Stir well.

• Remove the whole chilli and lime halves when the cooking time is up.

• Toss in the fresh coriander leaves for a burst of freshness.




5. Blending the Soup:

• Ladle the soup into a blender and blitz until smooth. This step ensures a velvety texture that enhances the overall experience.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this delightful soup in warm bowls. You can garnish it with additional coriander or a drizzle of coconut milk on top for a beautiful finish. Pair it with crusty bread or a light salad for a complete meal. This soup is perfect for sharing with family or friends on a cozy winter night.

Enjoy!
