I finally got the coconut cream I tasted a while back. It was hard to get because apparently it’s a new product. But it was worth the waiting. The difference between coconut milk and the coconut cream is that it’s much creamier and the taste is more pronounced. You could very well do with coconut milk, don’t stop yourself from doing this recipe just because you don’t have that ingredient.
After a busy weekend, my daughter’s birthday party with her friends, cooking, and “cleaning”, soup was just the right type of meal for me. Quick easy, and I can have enough for tomorrow’s lunches, so 2 meals in 1. 🙂
I had some leftover rice noodles from yesterday’s lunch, so it was even faster to make.
Preparation time: 10 minute
Cooking time: 20 minutes
- 1 organic onion
- 4 cups (1000ml) of organic chopped kale
- 2 cups (500ml) of chopped mushrooms

- 2 tbsp. (30ml) of curry
- 4 cups (1L) of organic vegetable broth or water
- 2 cans (400ml/ea.) of organic cream of coconut
- 3 cups (750ml) of chopped organic broccoli
- 4 cups (1000ml) of cooked rice noodle
- 1 shredded organic carrot
- 2 cups (500ml) of fresh coriander
- Chop all your vegetables and cut your tofu into cubes.
- In a big pot, heat a bit of oil and stir in your onion. Let it cook 2 minutes.
- Add in the chopped broccoli, the chopped kale, the chopped mushrooms and the tofu. Add the curry powder, some salt and pepper and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add in your broth, the coconut cream and continue the cooking for about 10 minutes.
- Put in the coriander, the rice noodles and the shredded carrot. Continue the cooking for about 5 minutes. It really is to warm your ingredients.

You are so lucky! I can’t wait to get fresh vegetables. The kale that is on the store is so dull and soft! Just good for a soup! 🙂

Thanks a lot! On top of being healthy, this recipe is very quick and easy to make. If you want to cut on the fat, you could easily go with a light coconut milk. Have a nice day!

Okay this looks interesting…I have never seen or heard of cream of coconut and to be honest, I have never stepped out of the box to try tofu. I just can’t get myself there…what would be a great replacement for that?

For the tofu if you want meat you can put chicken breast I guess even white fish but something white. If you want legumes, it could be chick peas. Coconut cream is fairly new and a bit hard to have yet, but you can use coconut milk and the light version if you want to cut on the fat. This was really tasty.

I haven’t seen cream of coconut either. I recently made tomato soup coconut milk and I loved it. I’ll look out for the coconut cream for sure.

More spicy and more flavour too! Here they tend to cut it with other things. It’s not pure. 😦
