Cooking Methods

This soup recipe is very easy to throw together and you can cook it a couple of ways:

Slow Cooker
You can simmer it for 2 hours on low in your crockpot. Or one hour on high.

Side note: Did you know there are wi-fi Crock-pots? Has anyone tried one? I think the idea is pretty fun. Not sure how useful it would be but at times when I've left my Crock-pot on while I'm away, it would be handy to check on how things are cooking and adjust the temperature as needed.

Stove Top
Make this soup on the stove top if you've got less time. No need to saute the onion first, it will soften as it simmers, but you can to add flavor. If sauteing first, then I recommend using a dutch oven or even a regular pot works. You can saute in the pot, then add your ingredients and bring to a boil.

★ Tips & FAQs ★

Using a Blender to Puree Soup

You can use a blender or a food processor. I think the blender makes a little bit of a smoother texture but both work.

Please be careful when blending hot soup. Allow a little time for the ingredients to cool and be sure to add the coconut milk at this stage, before you hit blend.

Blending hot ingredients creates enough pressure to pop the top off the blender and will make a big mess. Trust me. I've done it. Not fun to clean up and you can get splattered with hot soup yourself. Please take caution!

Try fresh ginger.

This is great with fresh ginger, or you can use ginger puree or frozen ginger cubes. You can use ginger powder as well. Lots of options here! But fresh ginger really does add a lot of flavor. I finally learned the proper way to peel ginger — with a spoon! (Thank you YouTube) Using a spoon versus a peeler just shaves off the skin and doesn't take any of the ginger with it. If you use fresh ginger, you don't need much at all.

Use fresh or dried jalapeño.

You can use fresh or dried jalapeños. I keep a small jar of dried jalapeños from our garden that I use just for soups or sauces. They work great because they have a chance to rehydrate in the soup or sauce. I usually throw in only a few seeds though otherwise it can get hot hot hot.
