This is a vegan, comforting veggie stew and is our family favorite. We love this rice noodles. This can be served as such too, if you are reducing carb intake. The creaminess of coconut adds a silky touch.
This soup has some similarities to tamarind based Indian soups or curries as well as tamarind based Filipina, Thai, or Myanmar soups. Nan Gyi Thoke and Ohn No Khauk Swe but with tamarind and use a similar coconut milk curry. The added spices make it a lot different from this soup. The hint f coriander reminds the Vietnamese Pho broth. Add some more coconut milk if you want it extra creamy. If you do not have tamarind, at the end add lime juice to balance the taste.
Veggies and garbanzos make it a filling meal. The flavors are balanced by addition of fresh ground spices and cayenne oil. This adds to the spicy kick. This can be added as per preference. There is tamarind extract used in this recipe. The leftovers can make next daylunch or dinner. Just rehet gently and serve. These taste amazing with garlic bread too.
We are sharing comforting stews this month. Sue of Palatable Pastime is hosting this month's event in our #SaturdaySoupSwappers group. Every third Saturday of the month we share soup recipes based on a chosen theme. Thanks, Sue!
