    Mango Soup with Coconut and Lime

    June 17, 2014 17 Comments

    Chilled tropical mango soup --  pureed mango +coconut milk + lime juice = quick trip to Hawaii!

    Pureed mango, coconut milk and lime juice come together for a chilled tropical soup.

    Let's go to Hawaii!

    Too expensive? Then make this soup and close your eyes. The combination of mango, coconut and lime will take your taste buds there for almost free.

    I love fruit soups and later the summer I always make plum soup, but a couple of years ago I started making this mango soup. It was finalist in a recipe contest on Food52, and I posted it about it here, but like anything else I make, I keep tweaking it a bit and thought I'd share the newest version with you. Mango is a very pulpy fruit, and processes into a thick liquid. I took it to a potluck recently and while the flavors were like a fresh tropical breeze, it was more smoothie than soup. I've reduced the yogurt and increased the coconut milk and low-fat milk. And I added a little lime zest. It's still thicker than, say, a broth, but it's more soup now than smoothie without losing the Island feel.

    Something else I keep tweaking is this blog - which is one of the many things I love about self-publishing. The latest tweak is to begin including dietary information with each post. Even when making our own food from scratch, or nearly so, we are a consuming public who want to know details about the sustenance we're feeding our bodies. As time goes on, I'll likely tweak the information and format, but for now I'm transferring the information from My Fitness Pal app that I use to track my daily calories and exercise. If there's specific information you're interested in that's not shown, just let me know and I'll add it if possible.

    Crabmeat is a great combination with mango, so crab cakes would be my first choice!

    Mango, Coconut and Lime Soup

    Tropical chilled mango soup with flavors of coconut and lime - perfect for summer evening dinner party.
    Prep Time20 mins

    Course: Soup
    Cuisine: Continental, tropical
    Keyword: Mango soup
    Servings: 4
    Calories: 184kcal
    Author: Susan Pridmore

    Ingredients

    • 3 ripe mangos
    • 3 ½ ounces plain low-fat Greek yogurt
    • ½ cup coconut milk
    • ½ cup 2% milk
    • 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoon lime juice
    • 1 teaspoon lime zest
    • 2 teaspoons honey
    • ½ Serrano pepper, minced
    • 1 teaspoon mint leaves
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

    Instructions

    • Slice the mangos in half around the large seed in the middle. Cross hatch the fruit, scoop it out with a spoon, and put into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade.
    • Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl, and whirl like crazy until smooth. If you don't have a food processor, I'm sure a blender would work fine too.
    • Chill for several hours before serving, or better yet - chill overnight in the refrigerator.

        Me too! It's the perfect place to unplug and completely relax with a good book. But for now, I settle for this soup 🙂

        We haven't been there for a couple of years, so we'll need to get there later this year or next for Myle's 'fix'. He used to live there, and part of his soul is still there.
