April 20, 2009: Leftover Makeover - Thai Kokosnoot Soup

Vegan Indian Potluck knew non to fill upwards up on bland staples patch in that place was such an abundance of vibrant curries (and pastries!) on offer. So, at the cease of the night, nosotros establish ourselves amongst leftover curry to feed one, a large saucepan of dried-out rice, in addition to a final unopened bundle of roti. (There were also a position out of mushrooms, leftover from pizza, slumbering inward the fridge.) With a wisp of wintertime inward the air, I planned a large pot of soup filled out amongst rice; if I could rail downwards a Thai or Indian-inspired number, in addition to hence the roti would brand a perfect side!

Our Moosewood cookbook's been sitting neglected for a patch (Chinese-style bbq sauce recipe excepted), withal it most forthwith provided an answer when I opened it - a Thai-style soup amongst mushrooms, tofu, lemongrass stock in addition to kokosnoot milk. I took the author's advice in addition to doubled the quantity of stock, freezing one-half of it for later. I took about liberties, though, regarding rice in addition to spice. The recipe didn't include whatsoever rice but I happily up-ended 2-3 cups of it into the simmering soup. While Moosewood recipes are ofttimes verdant amongst herbs, they're a niggling timid amongst the spices; I increased their pinch of cayenne to several rigorous shakes.

The lawsuit was only was nosotros (and our over-burdened fridge) needed - smoothen in addition to filling, amongst that Thai squad of heat, sweetness, limey tang in addition to a impact of salt. But it's non quite a stand upwards for for Lucy's tofu inward lemongrass broth.
