Butternut Squash, Thai Coconut, Chilli and Lemongrass Soup-

     My first recipe post! Can I get a woop woop!This is for a bowl of butternut squash, lemongrass and chilli coconut soup, which was tasty and spicy. I made it for lunch a few weeks ago and the recipe makes enough for one person.


200g butternut squash (cubed)
♥ 1/2 a small onion (finely sliced)
♥ 1 stick of lemongrass (chopped finely)
♥ Chilli seeds/flakes
♥ 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
♥ 200ml vegetable stock and water
♥ EITHER 100ml half fat coconut milk or 10g cubes of creamed coconut

1. Steam the butternut squash and onion until soft, add the lemongrass, cinnamon and chilli.
Then, when soft, reduce the liquid and dry fry for 3 minutes.
2. Add the stock and cinnamon and then the coconut, before simmering for 10 minutes.
Take from heat and use a blender to blitz until smooth.
3. Top with chilli flakes and cinnamon.
