Preparation

Step 1

In a large pot cook the onion in avocado oil with a pinch of salt over medium heat until soft, about 5-10 minutes.

Add the garlic, ginger and coriander, cook one more minute.

Add the squash, coconut milk, stock and kafir lime leaf and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until squash is tender.

Remove the kafir lime leaf and discard. Pour the soup into a blender, add the fish sauce and lime juice and blend on high until smooth. ***Place a towel over the top of the blender lid and secure with your hand when blending to ensure that hot liquid does not escape.

Pour the soup into serving bowls and garnish with the cashews, herbs and chiles.
