Exotic Dragon Fruit Lychee Soup Recipe

Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that brings a taste of the tropics right to your kitchen. With a unique combination of ingredients, this dish is perfect for a summer gathering or simply when you’re in the mood for something exotic and refreshing.

Ingredients

dragon fruit (pitaya) – 200g
coconut milk – 400ml
lychees – 150g
kiwi – 100g
mint leaves – for garnish

Preparation

Start by cutting the dragon fruit in half and scooping out the flesh into a blender. Add the coconut milk, lychees (pitted), and kiwi (peeled and sliced) to the blender. Blend everything until smooth and well combined.

Cooking

Pour the mixture into a saucepan and heat it over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.

Serving

Divide the chilled soup into bowls and garnish with fresh mint leaves. You can also add some additional diced fruits for a burst of flavor. This dish is best served cold, so make sure to chill it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

Tips

For an extra refreshing touch, you can freeze the dragon fruit and kiwi before blending to make the soup even colder and more slushy. It’s a great way to beat the heat on a hot summer day.
