This soothing Asian-style Ginger Coconut Soup is really fast to make. The vegetables used here are really delicious together. To lower the amount of fiber, ditch the broccoli and experiment with different combos, for example:...

2 (14-ounce) cans of coconut milk
1¼ cup water
1 to 2 tablespoons ginger, freshly grated
2 medium shallots, peeled and sliced lengthwise
Salt, to taste
¾ pound small new potatoes, or ⅓ cup of long grain white rice
1 cup of 1-inch asparagus sliced pieces
1 cup of broccoli florets
Cilantro or Thai basil, for garnish

Chef Tips

For bland diet, put shallots in whole for flavor and remove before eating.

If fiber isn’t an issue, use brown rice, it will just take longer to cook. For speed, use previously cooked and freezer stored brown rice in freezer, add ¾ cup to your soup.

For lower calories, use Lite coconut milk for a lower fat content.
