How To Make Jamie Oliver Butternut Squash Soup With Coconut Milk

1. Prep the Base: Heat a deep pan on medium-high. Warm the stock in a separate pan on low heat. In a food processor, blend lime leaves, chilies, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, a pinch of salt, and most of the coriander. Add olive oil, five-spice, and cumin while blending. Pour this mix into the hot pan and stir for 2 minutes.
2. Cook the Onion: Add the sliced onion to the pan. Cook on low heat for about 8-10 minutes until soft.
3. Add Squash and Stock: Add the squash chunks and pour in the warm stock. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20-25 minutes until the squash is soft.
4. Add Rice and Coconut Milk: Stir in the rice. If it looks dry, add a bit of water. Simmer for 8 minutes. Add the coconut milk and bring it back to a boil. Simmer for 2 more minutes.
5. Final Touches: Turn off the heat. Season with salt and pepper. Add lime juice to taste. Garnish with sliced chili and reserved coriander leaves before serving.
