Tips & Variations
- You may use cashew nuts too in place of almonds, but I prefer the taste of almonds over cashews in this soup.
- I am using coconut milk you may also try almond milk. You can also use dairy for the nonvegan version of the soup.
- You can also squeeze in some lemon juice and serve the soup.
- We may also add in frozen broccoli.
- You may also cook in the Instant Pot. For the Instant Pot version follow the same recipe and cook for 5 mins in pressure cook mode and then do a natural pressure release after 10 mins. Followed by the addition of coconut milk.
Storing Suggestions
Since you have coconut milk added I don't recommend storing or freezing the soup. However, you can skip coconut milk and then store the soup. It stays good for 4 days in the fridge or you may freeze it for 3 months. Just before serving thaw the soup bring it to a boil and then add in the coconut milk and serve.
Serving Suggestions
It is a rich soup and hence makes a filling dinner option. Goes well with some crusty bread and a salad for dinner.
