I love this Almond Butter Sriracha Sauce that I use in any grain or veggie bowl. It gets the food craving going and is perfect for the cold weather. This soup is like that sauce made into a nuttier soup.
Serve the soup with croutons, crackers or veggies. Change up the spices and flavors for variations. We served ours with a good drizzle of sriracha.
It also helps that the color of the soup is so pretty 🙂

December 2, 2014 at 10:50 pmI absolutely love pureed veggie soups. It’s my favorite thing to make with a bunch of random things that I don’t know what else to do with! When you say coconut milk, do you mean the canned stuff or the stuff in the milk carton? Do you think people generally mean one in particular? I’m never quite sure which one people mean when they say that, and the two are pretty different.
Richa says
December 3, 2014 at 1:53 ami usually use canned. in general if the recipe doesnt mention which one, then either will work fine. some carton coconut milks are just that pure coconut milk, while some others can have additives. the one with additives might not work in some recipes were you are heating the milk for long as the milk then can taste metallic. the carton ones will also not work as well where full fat coconut milk is needed.

December 4, 2014 at 9:22 amCan’t go wrong with coconut milk & sriracha. Didn’t think you could dress us a veggie soup, but this looks like it could be served at a gourmet restaurant. Love it!

Federica says
December 10, 2014 at 10:56 pmI made it last night and my boyfriend and I both loved it! the only difference was that I didn’t puree it because I wanted to feel the carrot pieces and I like chunkier soups. Very yummy! Mine was thick enough (I eyeballed the carrots and peanut amounts, so that may be the reason why) that I’m going to use it on top of a bowl of steamy brown rice ….

December 12, 2014 at 12:07 pmYou are the most versatile Vegan girl I ve ever come across so far. I am amazed at your recipe creation and the names of every dish you post.

January 4, 2015 at 9:54 amDo you by chance have the nutritional value breakdown for this yummy soup?!
Richa says
January 4, 2015 at 12:03 pmi just added the nutritional total. the calculator with the widget is not too reliable, hence i dont use it. the serving as a side soup is 4 bowls, so divide the total by 2 ot 4 depending on what you are serving.
Emilie says
January 10, 2015 at 6:21 pmThank you for a delicious recipe ! I was worried the nut butter (I used almond) would give it a weird texture, but thanks to the coconut milk it’s smooth and creamy. Adding this to my winter go-to recipes.
Cheers,
Emilie

January 27, 2015 at 1:21 pmHow could you make this soup more filling? What would you eat it with? Bread?
Katie says
February 6, 2015 at 7:59 amTotally making this today! Baby carrots have been on sale lately 3 bags for 5 dollars and somehow I end up buying them every time I go to the store, haha. Im also curious as to where you got those spoons ? I love them !
Richa says

Richa says

Erica says
January 17, 2016 at 10:28 pmMade this soup while on a Whole30. Had to make a couple adjustments to make it compliant (plus substitute celery for tomatoes since I have an allergy – so sad), but it turned out great! Shared it with a friend who is on her first Whole30 to show her we can still have delicious food. Even my sister, the better cook of the two of us, was impressed at how well it turned out. I love the subtlety of the sweet-spicy Thai flavor that emerges! Thanks so much for this recipe!
Richa says

January 28, 2019 at 2:02 pmHey Richa! I’ve been following you since ever and really love your blogs.
How can I replace the maple syrup? I’m in Paraguay (south america) so it’s impossible for me to get it. Maybe honey? There’s also a syrup from sugarcane but I’m not sure since both are really sweet. Any ideas? Thank you in advance <3
Richa says
January 28, 2019 at 5:16 pmUse sugar. That is neutral flavor so will work just fine.
Christie Witts Taylor says
February 25, 2019 at 2:16 pmHi do I use a tin of chopped tomatoes or do I chop up some fresh tomatoes? Both areas different!! Thanks!
Richa says
March 31, 2019 at 8:40 pmi usually use fresh but canned will work too
Jacky says
