VEGAN COCONUT MILK VEGETABLE SOUP
Vegan Coconut Milk Vegetable Soup is a popular vegetarian meal among the Vietnamese in the South. While this vegetarian soup is often mistaken for the more known sweet soup, the flavor that this soup leaves behind is very unique and memorable.
The heart and soul of this soup is coconut milk, which gives a distinctly sweet, buttery flavor that is irresistible from the first spoonful. Coconut milk will be simmered with the fleshy flavor of a variety of vegetables like pumpkin, peanut, lotus seed,... and other vegetarian foods such as fried tofu, sponge gourd, wood ear mushrooms,... to produce a unique flavor and nutritionally dense bowl.

PREPARATION

Pumpkin: Place your pumpkin on a large chopping board and remove the stem with a sharp knife. With the knife tip, cut clean lines straight down to quarter the pumpkin, then spoon the seeds out.
-
Place each quarter on a level surface and cut into wedges, then slice them off to remove the skin. Finally cut them into smaller dices.
-
Wood Ear Mushrooms: Soak in water for about 15 - 30 minutes. When reconstituted, they turn into a large wavy black mushroom. Clean them well, and trim off the stems with kitchen scissors. Slice the mushrooms into thin pieces.
