Coconut Curry Soup…
Something about coconut milk and curry gets me every time! I just love the way the flavors blend together making for a spicy, yet soothing soup!
This is a soup that can be made in very little time and with a variety of vegetables. I used carrots, green beans and baby corn, but you could add bell peppers, broccoli, sweet potatoes or mushrooms! I tossed in some tofu cubes for protein and served brown short grain rice on the side rounding this out as a complete meal!
