This tastes divine! I've made so many different versions of this soup over the years at home, for friends or whist catering on retreat. It is perhaps the one meal I eat more than anything else. Anyone who's been on an Openhand retreat that I've catered for will recognise this one! It's the 'Soul Food Special'! This soup originally appeared in my first book Trinity's Conscious Kitchen, although I've never made the same twice. It does however, always contain my signature ingredients coconut, tomato and sweet potato.
It's fast, it's easy and it's soul-stirringly de-e-e-lectable.
The perfect alchemy to nourish the soul
The key is to use organic, compassionate, plant-based ingredients and to infuse with the biggest heart full of love - the perfect alchemy to nourish the soul and raise our vibration. You'll create a thick and satisfying meal-in-itself with each ingredient enhancing and bringing out the best in the others. With a gorgeous medley of flavours, texture, protein, vitamins, minerals and healthy fats it is out-of-this-world awesome! You are gonna love it.
Creamed coconut - life just isn't the same without it
One of my favourite 'can't live without' ingredients in this is coconut. Coconut is nectar for the soul, and for me, makes being incarnated here as a human being all worth while! Of course, ideally we'd always eat them right off the tree but in this recipe I am using it in the form of creamed coconut (which is JUST coconut, nothing else, ground right down, retaining its awesome coconut aroma, flavour, creaminess and taste). I can't recommended the stuff highly enough for it's velvety, fragrant, melty, delectability. If you want to find out what creamed coconut is (and where to get it), check out my page here: What is Creamed Coconut Note: If you don't have creamed coconut available to you right now, then you can easily substitute in this recipe for coconut cream.
Anyway let's dive right in! I made a quick video demo so you can see exactly how I make this soup, please do check this out first...
