Just Made Some Soup.

[NoMercy]

I know it's summer but I just fancied it.

I've made a sweet potato, red lentil and coconut soup with Thai flavours. I'll take to work tomorrow with a dollop of caramelised onion hummus and either some warmed wholemeal pitta or peshwari naan, depending on what I can find in the freezer.

[Tilly2]

That sounds lovely!

[NoMercy]

To be fair, Tilly, it's one of the best ones I've made. OH has put himself some aside before it all goes.

[Tilly2]

Did you use a soup maker? Recipe please, NoM.

[rockyracoon]

Sounds lush Nom. Care to share your recipe? :)

[bednobs]

yuck, sounds revolting! Coconut should be reserved for bounties in my opinion.
My fave soup is italian chicken and bacon - it's a slimming world recipe that tastes lush.

[NoMercy]

No, Tilly, I just did it all by hand.

I used 1 red onion, about 8 cloves garlic, 2 red chillies, 2 large sweet potatoes grated, 2 cups red lentils, 2tsp turmeric, 2tsps cumin, 1 tsp

[NoMercy]

1 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp cardamom and 3tsps red Thai curry paste.

I'm making gazpacho for later this week, just in time for the cold weather though!

[NoMercy]

And 1 tin coconut milk

[NoMercy]

Coconut is delish, Bednobs :)

I tried Gazpacho, Zebo, but I just don't like it.

[Tilly2]

Thanks, NoM. I have all those ingredients. I'll give it a go in my soup maker.

[Tilly2]

I don't like Gazpacho either. I don't like cold soups.

[rockyracoon]

I'm gonna give that a whirl next week. I reckon the kids will like it as well.

[bednobs]

"Coconut is delish"
i completely agree with you, just in bounties (and on the top of those marshmallow snowballs)

[NoMercy]

Let me know your verdict, Tilly. I did use a drop of water and a veggie stock pot too. I think that's it!

[Old_Geezer]

There's gazpacho, and then there's gazpacho.
This one looks like worth a try.

[ummmm]

Many Asian curries are like soups. I love coconut curries packed with seafood...and lots of chilli.

[NoMercy]

I actually fancy an Asian seafood curry one of these days. OH had one on our last night in St Ives and I had real food envy.

[ethandron]

A friend gave me the recipe for spicy butternut squash soup and it's become our all time favourite, sounds similar to yours NoM. It involves a tin of coconut milk too but I can't taste the coconut, it just makes it very smooth and creamy.
Hmm, might have to make some soon...

[NoMercy]

Well I've heard from OH who says soup is "lush."
