1 litre chicken stock
400ml can light coconut milk

METHOD

  1. Preheat oven to hot, 200°C. Line a large oven dish with baking paper.
  2. Place vegetables and half oil into prepared pan, tossing to coat. Bake for 35-40 minutes until tender.
  3. Heat remaining oil in a large saucepan on medium. Add curry paste and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  4. Stir in roasted vegetables, stock, coconut milk and fish sauce. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Using a hand blender, puree the soup until smooth. Season to taste. Top with coriander and serve with naan bread.


Top tip
This soup freezes well, so make double quantity and freeze half for a later meal.
