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)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a blender, combine the coconut milk, vegetable broth, chopped cucumber, grated ginger, lemongrass stalk, lime juice, honey (or maple syrup), and salt.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Strain the soup using a fine mesh sieve to remove any lemongrass fibers or cucumber pulp, ensuring a smooth consistency.
Step 6
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to chill completely and allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve cold and enjoy this light, creamy, and aromatic chilled coconut soup.
