  I had a large crowd of friends for my daughter and husbands birthday fireworks evening. I prepared this in advance as I was holding my daughters birthday party over lunch. It was so easy to make and I had so many fabulous comments and requests for the recipe. I made it along side John's Slow Roasted Pork, chilli prawns and the sticky chocolate pudding with marshmallows. WOW It made a mega impact and I will definately be pulling this one out of the bag again soon! Thank you

  I used a pumpkin instead of squash and threw in some chilli flakes during the cooking time but the result was really bland. Any ideas to spruce it up without using the prawns? (I'm allergic).

  This had lovely fresh ingredients but even with the addition of some Thai curry paste, the end result was bland.

  This is absolutely delicious and my friends loved it! I served it in porcelain teacups and one person even had 5 cups! Fantastic. I did cook the prawns with garlic and pepper flakes which gave the overall taste a kick!

  I agree that this was quite bland. Definitely not 'spiced'. I may try adding some chilli or ginger to it.

  The soup alone is a little bland but the chilli prawns make it delicious

  I just made a variation of this i used a small pumpkin, added half a small red chilli including seeds, 2 tsp of mild curry powder and some crushed cumin seeds, some yellow split lentils, minus the lemon grass and coconut milk. It worked out fine, i would have added some cream at the last second but didnt have any , but still a tasty soup.
