Coconut Curry Chowder http://rawfoodtip.com/blog/2009/01/22/recipe-of-the-week-coconut-curry-soup/ 2 servings : Ingredients for blending : 1 or two coconuts ( depends on their water content ) 4 cloves of garlic ginger root ( close to 2 inches ) or 2 Tsp of minced juice of half of a lemon 2 dates 1 tsp curry powder 1 Tsp turmeric half or 1 jalapeno pepper salt black pepper cilantro ( I usually use half of a bunch ) Blend everything to a creamy consistency. Chop : 2 stalks of celery 2 stalks of leeks 1 carrot ( round ) shiitake mushrooms 1 red bell pepper 1 tomato 1 avocado HOW TO : You might want to have a warm soup this time a year. Put all the blended cream into ceramic pot and warm it on a low heat ( stick your finger after a while to check if you didn’t overdo it ) When you think it is ready ( warm enough ) , put all the chopped ingredient into the pot, excluding tomatos and avocados. These guys go into the bowl on the bottom. Cover your tomatos and avocados in glass or wooden bowl with coconut chowder
