I’ve been feeling so down today over the state of the world. I thought we could start working towards world peace with a bowl of soup. So I decided to make a soup with many different international influences. I threw in coconut milk from Thailand, spices from India, noodles from Italy, and veggies from a local farm in Virginia. I was pretty proud of myself. I could not believe how well the flavors and spices came together! I mean, it was like an international party in a bowl. I wanted to shout to the world – peace can be achieved in our time!! Soupermom pointed out that there really hasn’t been any conflict between the U.S., India, Thailand, and Italy. But I really think that’s besides the point. So I sent over a batch to President Obama. It was returned with a note saying I should stop throwing soup over the fence at the White House. Clearly they are not interested enough in really good soup.
Ingredients (in no particular order): green beans, red bell pepper, mushrooms, potatoes, coconut milk, cumin, turmeric, coriander, curry, gingerroot, cayenne pepper, onion, garlic, salt, vegetable oil, egg noodles, homemade vegetable stock goodness

Love this soup!! Soupergirl just keeps getting better!
The taste of cumin and tumeric with coconut milk…..just fabulous!
I will rank this number 1 in my list together with the West African Safari Stew.
Please bring this back SOON.
Good flavors– I liked the mushrooms and the noodles, but the thinness of the soup was disappointing.
The soup was an interesting idea and had an interesting combo of ingredients, but I didn’t quite care for it — I would have preferred a slightly sweet touch to the coconut and cumin, etc. The flavor didn’t seem too complex — kind of a one note soup. But very fresh ingredients.
this was the most avant garde combination of flavors yet — such unexpected pairings..but it’s my favorite thus far, I think! This soup is nuanced and layered…surprised at how well the veggies held up. Loved that it was tangy but not spicey so i could appreciate the lovely favors. A v unconventional keeper!
A deliciously aromatic, mildly spicy vegetable noodle soup with meaty flavor undertones (perhaps from the mushrooms?). I enjoyed a quart of it for dinner; so, I guess it will be one of my future favorites! :-)
At first, I wasn’t so sure about this soup. But then I heated it um, and yum! I loved the noodles with the mushrooms and curry. Very unexpected, but so good that I licked my bowl clean.
