INGREDIENTS

1 T groundnut oil
50 g / 2 oz spring onions, sliced
50 g / 1 oz garlic, sliced
200 ml / 7 oz coconut milk
400 ml / 14 oz vegetable stock

METHOD

Heat oil in a saucepan and fry the sliced spring onion and garlic quite fast. Add the remaining ingredients in order and cook for 5 minutes.

If you like, this soup can be blended: set aside about one quarter of the banana and chili slices, then cook the rest as above then puree the soup in a blender until smooth. Return the blended mixture to the pan, add reserved banana and chili slices and warm for 3 minutes.

Serve hot, garnished with coriander leaves, lime quarters and spring onion strips.
