Sometimes when I need a mental vacation, I close my eyes and picture myself in Jamaica. I imagine myself sitting on a perfect beach, watching the sun set over the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean Sea, slowly sipping a bowl of soup. I mean, with sweet potatoes, orange and lime juice, coconut milk, curry and other spices, and dark rum, what else would I want? A pina colada? Oh please – do you know how much sugar is in those things?? Back to my mental vacation – while sipping soup, Tom Cruise walks over and he and I experience a fabulous movie montage (inspired by the movie Cocktail) in which we ride horses along the beach, have campfires under the stars, swim under hidden waterfalls, and feed each other soup. Lots and lots of this fabulously luscious soup. Oh how I love mental vacations.Ingredients (in no particular order): sweet potato, orange juice, lime juice, dark rum, coconut milk, ginger root, curry powder, nutmeg, freshly grated orange zest, celery, onion, vegetable oil, bay leaf, homemade vegetable stock goodness

My mother always said, anything with coconut should be good. Love it!
This is amazing soup! I just love the bits of ginger – very soothing and comforting.
Oh, yes, this soup is awesome! After devouring one bowl on delivery night, I somehow saved the second half of the quart for dessert the next night. Yes, it was my entire meal, but it was too delicious, it was almost naughty! Thus, it must have been dessert.
Hint: I added a bit of lime zest to the soup while I was making my citrus granola. It gave a tiny bit of extra zing!
This was the soup that got me hooked to Soupergirl!!! I love the Coconutty taste to it and I can taste a lil bit of rum (which is good to have at the end of a rough work day). My husband and I were married in Jamaica so this sup brought back some memories :) Thank you so much for such an amazing soup!!!
AMAZING!!! The bet soup I’ve had yet from Soupergirl. There was just enough coconut, and I could even taste a little bit of lime. I would highly recommend it – again, amazing!
Even better the 2nd time around!
really, really, really yummy…but maybe this time aruond there’s less coconut milk, ’cause i am not feelin’ it….but the ginger is is great, as is the tangy citrus. Still delicious no matter what’s in it! (wish I’d thought to add that toasted coconut and lime zest suggested…brilliant idea!)
Smooth, creamy, and delicious. This soup is the culinary equivalent of wrapping yourself in a cozy blanket with a good book. I’ll have to order a quart next time.
