Recipe:
To begin, heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the onions, carrots and red pepper to the pan and cook for three minutes.
Add the ginger and Thai curry paste and cook everything for 30 seconds. Then add all the remaining ingredients except the Thai basil.
Bring the soup to a boil, cover with a lid and then reduce the heat to simmer for 20 minutes until the vegetables have softened.
Remove the lemongrass stalk and add the Thai basil. Place the soup in a blender or food processor and blitz until smooth.

While serving, add some fresh Thai basil leaves to each bowl and your delicious soup is ready to eat.
