This is a real winter warmer soup. The creamed coconut is so easy to use in soups and gives a wonderful creamy flavour without using any cream! It’s a delicious recipe that’s full of flavour and healthy too. The coconut and butternut squash really do make a great combination which is not to be missed out on. Serve with warm crusty bread and enjoy!

Method
- Finely chop the onion and garlic and fry in a saucepan until caramelised.
- Peel and chop the butternut squash and add to the pan with 700ml of water.
- Bring to the boil and add the stock cube, rosemary, salt, curry paste and creamed coconut.
- Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until the squash is tender.
- Using a plunge blender straight into the saucepan, blend a part of the soup but not all of it to give varying texture. Serve on its own or with bread and butter.
If you cant get hold of a butternut squash you can use sweet potato instead and how about adding a carrot!
