Tropical Flavors Unite: Spicy Mango Coconut Soup Recipe

Today’s Plant-Based Delight: Spicy Mango Coconut Soup

Being a lover of bold flavors and exotic ingredients, I am excited to share with you my latest creation — a Spicy Mango Coconut Soup. This unique dish combines the sweetness of ripe mangoes with the creaminess of coconut milk and a spicy kick from red chilies. It’s a perfect balance of flavors that will transport you to a tropical paradise with every spoonful.

Ingredients:

• 3 medium ripe mangoes
• 400ml coconut milk
• 2 red chili peppers
• 1 tbsp fresh ginger
• 3 garlic cloves
• 500ml vegetable broth
• 1 lime, juiced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large pot
• immersion blender

I start by sautéing the minced garlic, sliced red chili peppers, and fresh ginger in a large pot until fragrant. Then, I add in the diced mangoes and vegetable broth, allowing everything to simmer for about 15 minutes until the mangoes are tender. Next, I pour in the coconut milk and bring the soup to a gentle boil before reducing the heat to let it simmer for another 10 minutes.

Once the soup has cooked down and all the flavors have melded together, I use an immersion blender to puree everything until smooth and creamy. I then season the soup with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a burst of citrusy goodness.

To serve, I ladle the Spicy Mango Coconut Soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for a pop of color and herbaceous aroma. This soup is best enjoyed hot, allowing the richness of the coconut milk and the heat from the chilies to warm you from the inside out.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200 grams, making about 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 300 grams, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

One clever tip for this dish is to add a splash of soy sauce for an extra umami kick that enhances the overall depth of flavor in the soup.

I hope you give this Spicy Mango Coconut Soup a try and tailor it to your liking with additional spices or toppings. It’s a versatile dish that can be adjusted to suit your taste preferences, so feel free to get creative in the kitchen!
