Winters have started in Bangalore. The early mornings and nights are much colder, that you crave for some comfort food - something hot, creamy and soothing to your shivering soul. :)
These days we have started making a lot of soups at home... I know my cream of pumpkin soup recipe is still pending to be uploaded. I assure that I will post it this week. Once you know the recipe, every other cream soup is same. But today's soup is different... it's a mild spiced coconut based soup. What can be more comforting than a cup of hot coconut milk with some spices?? This is very common Thai Soup Recipe and it's quite easy to do. I added my recent found new green vegetable - Bok Choy. But you can feel free to toss in any veggies you have in your refrigerator.

A whole lot of veggies into my soup
4. Now add the two cups of coconut milk with some water. Add freshly ground pepper and mix the soup well.
5. Close the lid and let it come to boil.
6. Once it boils well, simmer the soup and check salt and spices. Add mixed herbs like oregano/thyme/basil according to your taste buds.
7. You can also add some milk cream in the end to finish it off. I did not add milk, to keep the coconut milk flavor.
8. Switch off and serve hot!!
It is mild spicy and absolutely comforting to your taste buds and soul! It's a complete meal by itself.
Try it and let us know your experience.
