I recently had a meeting with Miss Mung Bean. She was really upset with her image. “Nobody knows me! Lentils, black beans, white beans – they get all the glory. I’m low cal, high fiber, have tons of vitamins, and well, let’s be serious – I’m quite fabulous. So why no love, Soupergirl?” I pointed out that the name “Mung” is a little less than… sexy. “I come from a long proud line of Mungs! No name change!” she replied. “I mean, if Paris Hilton can be famous for basically doing nothing… what about ME??” I thought for a little, and then it came to me – image overhaul!! I sad, “OK Miss Mung Bean, think exotic! Think India! I’m envisioning spices like garam masala, turmeric, curry, and of course, cumin. Oh, and serrano peppers! Oh my gosh, ginger!!” And here you have it folks – the Fabulous Miss Mung Bean Soup! Watch for her on the cover of US magazine breaking up Brangelina any day now…

I was apprehensive at first (who has ever heard of mung beans?), but I loved the soup! The coconut milk is an excellent touch.
L-O-V-E-D this one. Coconut milk is just flavorful enough but not overpowering. Texture excellent. Would order this one again. Five stars.
I, too, love this soup! Who would have thought mung beans were so good? At any rate, five out of five for me. mak
Ditto ditto! I wish I ordered the quart size…any chance you could make this again?? :) The aroma was to die for…and I didn’t add anything else to the soup (I believe you recommended lemon juice?) It was just delicious by itself!! :) Ahhhhhh-mazing!!
This soup is to die for! I love mung beans and was so happy to see them offered for this week. The coconut milk is delicious and the texture is awesome!
I was a little hesitant at first when I saw the coconut milk. I’m so happy I ordered it anyway. This soup was absolutely delicious with just the right touch of flavor. Thank you and I look forward to tasting more of your delicious soups! 5 STARS 4 SURE!!!
I loved the taste of curry and the strong tastes in general — 5 stars! Wonderful!
Hmm, the flavor on this one is good and varied, but I don’t love the texture.
Mung beans are pretty chewy. Also, it’s not the prettiest soup you’d ever see — looks like a bowl full of capers (which I happen not to like the look or taste of capers, so that’s just me!!).
