Coconut Masala Curry Soup (Vegan Gluten Free)

I love this sweet and tangy indian cuisine. This coconut masala (spice) soup contains vibrant aromas. The mixture of herbs and spices have a warming effect for those who like a little bit of heat. I think this is an extraordinary recipe that will excite your palate.

Healthy Tip: Buy organic or shop at a local farmers markets to get the best quality ingredients. Using fresh herbs over dried herbs are better for bringing out the refreshing aroma and flavors.

Optional Ingredients:

Fresh Herbs: Cilantro, rosemary, parsley, tarragon, thyme, mint, sage, or thai Basil.   

Garnishes: Coconut flakes, orange (orange peel), apricot (dried apricots), cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg.

1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
1 large lemon (juiced)
1/4 cup fresh cilantro (garnish)

1 cup vegetable broth
