Method

  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.
  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.

    Really easy to make, used light coconut milk instead, and added pepper sauce for that extra kick. Lovely

    I made this last night and it was gorgeous. The coconut milk makes it really creamy, and I only used one chilli so it wasn't too spicy. Rather than use fresh chilli to garnish I used chilli flakes instead which gave it a lovely kick. The butternut squash took me a while to prepare, so if I make it again I'll probably try to find pre-diced butternut squash as it took me a lot longer than the prescribed 35 minutes in total.

    Tasted nice, but bit watery. Maybe my squash was too small.
