Method

  • step 1

    Fry the onion, lemongrass and most of the chilli in a large pan with a splash of water for 2-3 mins until softened – add more water if it starts to catch. Tip in the squash and stir. Cover with 1 litre water, bring to the boil and simmer for 15 mins until the squash is tender. Add lime juice, remove from the heat and blitz with a hand blender until smooth.

  • step 2

    Pour in the coconut milk, season, then return to the heat to gently warm through. Ladle into bowls and serve with coriander and the remaining chilli.

I don't know what happened, but I've just made this and it's the worst soup I've ever made! No flavour - apart from chilli. Tried putting a stock cube in but too late and didn't really make a difference. Wouldn't make again, really disappointing. :(

Lovely flavour, although I thought it was a bit thin. Will add less water next time.
