Curried Coconut Soup

This is a simple almost vegan soup – use oil instead of butter and it’s vegan. I love the flavor of the spices and the coconut milk!

• 2 tbsp butter or oil
• 1 sweet onion, sliced thin
• Salt
• 1 1/2 tsp curry powder
• 1/2 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp chili powder
• 1 28 oz can tomatoes
• 1 can light coconut milk

In a stock pot, heat butter or oil over medium heat and melt butter. Add the onion and 1/2 tsp salt. Reduce to medium-low and cook onions until tender, about 15 minutes.

Stir in the spices and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes and 28 oz of water (use the can). Bring to a boil and simmer on medium high for 20 minutes.

Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup. Return to low heat and stir in coconut milk.

Serves 4 – 6.
