This soup might be raw, but that doesn’t mean it can’t also be hot! There’s nothing like the flavor combinations in That food, combining the sweet with the sour, with a healthy dose of spice thrown in for good measure. Mm mm. Ginger, cilantro, garlic, coconut… This curry coconut soup is not lacking in the flavor department.

This raw vegan soup can be enjoyed warm. Raw doesn’t have to mean cold! If you’re trying to warm your bones on a cool day, consider warming your veggies up a bit in warm water before you set to chopping them up. And of course, make sure you vary your level of chili peppers in accordance with your heat tolerance!

Ingredients

1 thai coconut (young, the flesh and water of, about a cup of flesh and 1 1/2 cups of water)
1 carrot (thin, cut in chunks)
1 garlic clove (small)
1 1/2 tsp ginger (galangal, if you don’t have galangal ginger, you can use 1 tsp fresh ginger)
2 tsp curry powder
1/2 thai chili pepper (minced, these can be quite spicy so start with less if you don’t want it spicy)
2 Tbsp green onion (chopped)
2 persian cucumbers ( julienned to form noodles)
1 red bell pepper (cut into matchsticks)
1 handful cilantro
1/2 cup water (more or less to desired consistency)
1/2 Tbsp lemon juice (optional)
1 date (medjool, pitted; optional)

NOTE: I put optional for the above two ingredients because this soup really is good both ways, with and without them, however they do go together so it’s best to either use them both or leave them both out.
