Cold Mango And Rum Soup Sopa Fria De Mango Y Ron Recipes

PACK-AND-POUR MANGO SOUP

Steps:

• Cut the mango into a large dice.
• Working in batches, puree the mango, orange juice, yogurt, and lime juice, using a blender, food processor, or hand blender until smooth. Taste and add more lime juice, if necessary. Chill for at least 2 to 3 hours and serve cold.

SAVORY COLD MANGO SOUP

Steps:

• Purée mango in food processor or blender, adding enough milk to let the machine easily do its work. (Work in batches, if necessary.) Add the remaining milk, the yogurt, coconut milk, chili powder and cayenne, and process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Transfer soup to bowl and refrigerate 1 hour. Ladle into bowls, garnish and serve.

PUMPKIN, COCONUT AND RUM SOUP

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until just beginning to caramelize, about 20 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic and scallions and cook for another minute or two until softened.
• Add the cubed pumpkin, the carrots, scotch bonnet pepper, stock and coconut milk. Bring to a boil and turn down the heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, for about 35-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are completely soft and the liquid has reduced slightly.
• Remove from the heat and puree, either in a blender (in batches, and with the lid clamped down tight), or with an immersion (stick) blender. Return to the pot, stir in the sugar, salt and pepper to taste, and the rum. Cover and set aside for several hours or overnight (in which case, refrigerate).
• Just before serving, reheat the soup to boiling and let boil vigorously for 2-3 minutes.
• Serve hot with a garnish of thinly-sliced scallions or chives.
