Instructions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large soup pot over medium heat and fry the butternut squash for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the curry paste and cook until the aromas in the paste start to release

Step 2

Add the pak choi, coconut milk, 700 ml vegetable stock, 450ml of hot water and bring to a simmer. Cover, and cook until the squash has softened, about 5-7 minutes should do the trick

Step 3

Add in the rice noodles and broad beans and stir well to submerge in the liquid. Cook for a further 2 mins until the noodles are completely soft, the beans are hot, and the pak choy is tender

Step 4

To serve, portion the soup, making sure each bowl has an even amount of butternut squash, broad beans, noodles and pak choy. Garnish with a few of the toasted cashew nuts and a few slices of red chilli, if desired.
