Cucumber Coconut Soup image

This chilled cucumber-coconut soup gets its inspiration from Indian cuisine, which often marries the two components. Jalapeno and fresh cilantro add character to poached chicken.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups homemade or low-sodium canned chicken stock
1 whole skinless and boneless chicken breast
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
1 large garlic clove, minced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 pounds cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 13 1/2-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup lightly packed fresh cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring chicken stock to a boil in a small saucepan. Add chicken; return to a simmer, and reduce heat. Cook, covered, until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate, reserving stock, and let cool.
  • Heat olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add onion; cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add garlic, jalapeno, and cucumbers; cook 1 minute more. Add reserved chicken stock, and bring to a simmer; cook until cucumbers are tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly.
  • Working in batches, transfer cucumber mixture to a blender or food processor, and puree until smooth. Add coconut milk and cilantro to last batch, pureeing until cilantro is very finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl, and cover with plastic wrap; place in refrigerator until soup is completely cool. Stir in lime juice, and season with salt and pepper.
  • To serve, shred chicken into bite-size pieces. Ladle soup into bowls; top each with chicken, and garnish with cilantro.

I didn't like the combination of cucumber and coconut. I found the flavors to be too clashing.

The soup was too thick for my liking. I would have preferred it to be thinner and more broth-like.

I was pleasantly surprised by how well the cucumber and coconut flavors complemented each other. The soup was creamy and flavorful, with a hint of sweetness from the coconut milk. I also appreciated the pop of color from the fresh herbs.

This cucumber coconut soup was a refreshing and delicious twist on a classic. The coconut milk added a creamy richness, while the cucumber kept it light and summery. I especially loved the addition of fresh mint and cilantro, which really brightened
