-------- ------------ --------------------------------

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 cup yellow onions -- chopped

1 teaspoon fresh ginger -- minced

1 garlic clove -- minced

1 teaspoon ground coriander

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 1/2 pounds green tomatoes -- peel seed chop

1 medium green bell pepper -- core seed chop

1/2 pound boiling potatoes -- diced

(about 1-1/2 cups)

2 cups vegetable broth

1 tablespoon honey

1 small red pepper -- fresh or dry, hot

1/2 cup canned coconut milk -- unsweetened

(or skim milk)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup nonfat plain yogurt

1/4 cup dry-roasted cashews -- unsalted

4 teaspoons fresh cilantro -- minced

 

In a large heavy pot, heat the oil over medium heat, then add the onions,

ginger, garlic, coriander, and cumin and cook, stirring, until the onions are

soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bell pepper, potatoes,

broth, honey, and hot pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and

simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Remove the hot pepper. Using a blender or food

processor, puree the soup in batches. Return it to the pot, stir in the

coconut milk and salt, then heat just to a simmer. Serve, garnished with dollop

of yogurt, cashews, and cilantro.

NOTES : This soup, with its warming, redolent combination of herbs and spices,

makes a great first course or light meal for those crisply beautiful autumn

days. In fact, you may want to make it throughout the growing season, serving it

chilled during summer's hottest days.
