Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Coconut milk
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 Lemongrass stalk
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Peel the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon. Finely dice one-quarter of the cucumber for garnish and set aside. Chop the remaining cucumber into small chunks for blending.
Peel and grate the fresh ginger. Trim and slightly bruise the lemongrass stalk by hitting it gently with the back of a knife to release its aroma.
In a blender, combine the coconut milk, vegetable broth, chopped cucumber, grated ginger, lemongrass stalk, lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), and salt.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the soup appears too thick, add a little more vegetable broth to reach your preferred consistency.
Strain the soup using a fine mesh sieve to remove any lemongrass fibers or cucumber pulp, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill completely and allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, discard the lemongrass stalk from the soup. Garnish each bowl with the reserved diced cucumber, fresh cilantro leaves, and a pinch of chili flakes for an extra kick, if desired.
Serve cold and enjoy this light, creamy, and aromatic chilled coconut soup.
