Prawn, spinach and sweetcorn soup

Method

1 Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 6. Put the corn into a large flameproof casserole with the leeks, garlic, chilli (if using), consommé, coconut milk and 300ml (½ pint) cold water.

2 Cover and bring to the boil, then remove the lid and cook in the oven for 35–40min. Remove from the oven and put over a low heat on the hob.

3 Add the noodles and prawns and cook for 3–4min, then stir in the spinach, the chopped coriander, fish sauce and lime juice. Divide among four individual warm bowls and serve topped with a little of the chopped peanuts.
