Coconut Squash Soup


Ingredients

  • 2 large yellow squash
  • zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 5 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 can of coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon of anchovy paste (optional)
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Wash the yellow squash, and then finely dice them.
2. Heat oil then add the turmeric and make a small paste. Put squash into a pan with the lemon zest and anchovy paste, stir to coat, then cook on a gentle heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they've slightly softened.
3. Pour in the broth and lemon juice. (I make up some bouillon with water; you could use vegetable or chicken broth if you prefer). Cook covered, for 10-20 minutes or just until the squash is tender.
4. Add the coconut milk, stir and puree with immersion blender.
5. Leave to cool slightly before serving.
