Hearty Coconut Soup (Young Green Coconut, Avocado, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Lemon, Kelp, Cummin,turmeric, Chili Powder)

Written by admin on June 4, 2009 – -



coconutI was wanting something that would fill me up, and was inspired to make a coconut soup after reading a post at the Raw Diva Powder Room. I didn’t have any coriander (cilantro) or lemongrass, so made the most of what I did have.

Hearty Coconut Soup

This makes about one litre of soup.

  • green coconut – meat & water
  • avocado
  • 100g cherry tomatoes (3.5 oz)
  • head of lettuce
  • small lemon – juice
  • 1 tsp each cummin and turmeric
  • 2 tsp kelp powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder

Just put it all in your blender and blend away!

I didn’t use lettuce because I didn’t think of it until I’d finished my soup. <grin> Although it would go very well with the soup. Something else I didn’t think to add was a clove of garlic. Garlic is a favourite at our home, and I put it in just about everything savoury. This is a very filling soup, and I only had 3 cups even though I was very hungry (normally I’d have 5 cups of soup for dinner, but don’t tell anyone!). This makes up enough for two very large servings, or four smaller servings.

Blessings,
Veronica

    Young Thai coconuts and green coconuts are the same thing, just a different name. I also live in Australia, so have no idea what Meijer is! lol I buy mine at the local supermarket.

    If anyone is wondering where to get young coconuts (yes, the same as the thai ones — they will usually have the green husk cut off already so they will look white), I recommend trying an asian food store. There is one near me that will order me a case of them at a time … I need to go order more though! :-)
