Vegan Coconut Soup at Cafe Gratitude with the Hippy Gourmet

[KofykatKashyap]

Ah... that's a different method of opening a coconut from what I've used/seen.

[areyouquitemad]

I just made this! Its amazing!! Its really simple and quick (other than the cutting open of the coconut, phew!)

I would definately recommend putting only 1 medjool date in first to see the sweetness and then adding more only if needed otherwise it might be a little sweet. Mine was slightly sweet, which i offset by adding a little more soy.

You really should try this!! I'm full of energy after this delicious and nutritious treat!

I love cafe gratitude. I went in when i was in San Francisco. LOVED EVERY BITE!!!!

[fliff0504]

This was one of the best soups I've ever eaten!

[Prethenie]

Now "that" looks worthy of making. I will omit the salt though, and use cummin. Interesting to see the skin of the ginger being used. Won't be peeling any longer. :) OH! Sooooo yummy. Thanks for posting.

[TheVittleVlog]

That is a great looking soup...thanks for sharing!

[AdrianTheCat]

Made it today - very quick and tasty.

It makes a rich curry soup

[JustasIam147]

Why didn't they taste? Has anyone made this recipe? What is your opinion?

[LunaKarone2709]

wow felicidades al chef Vinicio desde El Salvador!

[mayknmusic]

Where can I get some of these kinds of coconuts? And what about canned coconut milk? Thanks.

[hippygourmet]

They sell Thai coconuts at Whole Foods, but you should also be able to use canned coconut milk.

@mayknmusic

if can find a Asian supermarket your set but for can coconut milk but it wouldn't be raw it a Thai coconut if i am not mistaken . Happy soup ! can or raw still delicious i guess if you start with the canned version you will have a better view of the coconut version HMMM interesting

That's a Tuff Nut!

[kickyourace]

What did they put in at 2:20? leveled off the cup?

[hippygourmet]

Curry powder, which is basically a mixture of spices of widely varying composition based on South Asian cuisine.

[Modeltrainguy]

WOW! 0.0

[AllisonLPayne]

[f417h]

Whoot!

[capedchameleon]

That looks so darn good! :D

[kaiatribe]

I was waiting for him to take his fingers off!! holy crap, dude! there is a way easier way to do that. Cut the top off...that point and then all you have to do is find the soft spot and poke into it with a knife point, then just lift off the top. sounds simple? it is.

[1maloulou]

what was the spice that was added by the tablespoonful?

How much soy sauce?

[1maloulou]

This is DELICIOUS! I made some the other day and OMG . . . still smiling!

[travelingvegetarian]

Yummy. I have that book too, so I guess I should make this!

[bluhousworker]

my wife and I make a var similar soup at least twice a month.. but where is the fish sauce? Oh you need fish sauce!!!!

[hippygourmet]

Yes, but this is a vegan recipe after all : )

[bluhousworker]

oh yes of course, hhmmm but I think I have seen vegan fish sauce before, is there a substitute for fish sauce?

[wodaospirit]

My mom uses fish sauce (which is annoying) and a former colleague of mines uses rice vinegar, which was used with the rice paper rolls with rolled rice noodles and orange peppers. It actually is similar! Funny how I mentioned rice a lots..hahah

There's a recipe to the sauce. I'm certain it's just not rice vinegar alone. I think it was with spices and bits of ginger in the rice vinegar.

[lklankford]

Man, I think this is the most fabulous recipe featured yet. I love the emulsification with the olive oil as a finishing touch.

[Infaustus]

This looks good :)

[GooberFace4]

oh yum!!!!! that looks so awesome...i can't use a real coconut though. would coconut juice work? or canned coconut milk?

[hippygourmet]

Coconut milk should work OK, although it's good to have the coconut meat in there for texture. Coconuts are available in most major supermarkets by the way. The one featured in this segment is a Thai coconut.
