Chilled Coconut Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Combine honeydew melon, coconut milk, honey, lime juice, cinnamon, and ginger in a blender; blend until smooth. Refrigerate for 1 hour and serve chilled.

Steps:

• Melt coconut oil over medium heat in a large pot. Add onion, ginger, tumeric, and 1/2 tsp. salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 8-10 minutes.
• Break corn cobs in half and add to pot along with corn kernels, potato, coconut milk, lime zest, and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until potato is tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Discard corn cobs and lime zest, then transfer soup to a blender. Add 1/2 tsp. salt and purée until smooth. Let cool to room temperature. Transfer to a large bowl and chill, covered, at least 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350°F. Spread coconut flakes on a small rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate.
• Stir lime juice into soup and adjust seasonings, thinning with water, if needed. Divide soup among bowls, then top with toasted coconut, avocado, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges alongside.
• Do Ahead
• Soup can be made 4 days ahead. Cover and chill.

Steps:

• Pour the milk in to a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stir in the coconut, lower the heat and let simmer for 30 minutes.
• Spoon the mixture into a food processor and process until smooth. This may take a while--up to 5 minutes--so pause frequently and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Rinse the pan to remove any coconut that remains, pour in the processed mixture and add the coconut milk.
• Stir in the chicken stock (homemade if possible) cream, salt, pepper, and sugar.
• Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally then lower the heat and cook for 10 minutes.
• Reserve a few cilantro leaves to garnish, then chop the rest finely and stir into the soup.
• Pour the soup into a large bowl, let it cool, then cover and put into the refrigerator until chilled.
• Just before serving taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as chilling will alter the taste.
• Serve in chilled bowls, garnished with cilantro leaves.

Steps:

• On a steady work surface, using a mallet or the back of a sturdy knife, bruise the root end of the lemongrass. In a large pot over high heat, add the lemongrass, vegetable stock, and ginger and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain the stock and return it to the pot. Add the butternut squash to the stock and simmer until the squash is fully cooked and begins to break down, about 1 hour. Remove from the heat and cool. Add the coconut milk, blending the mixture in batches until smooth. Season with lime juice and salt, and chill. To serve, garnish the soup with cilantro, cashews and coconut.

Steps:

• Cut the corn kernels off the cobs and transfer to a bowl. Using the back of a butter knife, scrape the cobs so that all of the milky juices collect in the bowl and the cobs look completely dry, like wrung-out sponges. Set aside. (If using frozen kernels, skip this step.)
• In a large stockpot over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add shallots, garlic, ginger and chile, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add corn kernels and juices to the pot, and sauté until the corn is softer and brighter, about 3 minutes more.
• Add potato pieces, and stir to coat, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Now, pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are tender all the way through.
• Use an immersion blender to roughly purée the soup, so that it's creamy with some kernels of corn, chunks of potato, and chile flecks remaining. (Alternatively, ladle about half of the soup into a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.) Season with lime juice and salt, and mix to combine. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with toppings of your choice.

Steps:

• Bring chile, corn kernels, coconut milk, and water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat, and simmer until corn is tender, about 20 minutes.
• Filling a blender halfway and covering with a kitchen towel, puree soup in batches. Strain through a coarse sieve into a large bowl; discard solids. Season with salt and pepper.
• Chill soup at least 3 hours or up to overnight. Stir in lime juice. Garnish each serving with fresh corn kernels if desired, and season with pepper.

Steps:

• Bring chicken stock to a boil in a small saucepan. Add chicken; return to a simmer, and reduce heat. Cook, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, reserving stock, and let cool.
• Heat olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, jalapeno, and cucumbers; cook 1 minute more. Add reserved chicken stock, and bring to a simmer; cook until cucumbers are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly.
• Working in batches, transfer cucumber mixture to a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth. Add coconut milk and cilantro to last batch, pureeing until cilantro is very finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl, and cover with plastic wrap; place in refrigerator until soup is completely cool. Stir in lime juice, and season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, shred chicken into bite-size pieces. Ladle soup into bowls; top each with chicken, and garnish with cilantro.
