Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Ripe Mangoes: Choose plump, fragrant mangoes; they should yield slightly when squeezed for optimal sweetness.

  • Coconut Milk: Use full-fat coconut milk for creaminess; light versions might lose that luscious texture.

  • Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice brightens the flavors; skip the bottled stuff if you can!

  • Honey or Agave Syrup: Adjust sweetness with honey or agave syrup based on your taste preferences.

  • Fresh Mint Leaves: Use mint leaves for garnish; they add a refreshing touch and beautiful color contrast.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Gather Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all ingredients on your kitchen counter. This will save you from frantic searches mid-recipe and ensure smooth sailing ahead.

Prepare the Mangoes: Peel and slice ripe mangoes into chunks, discarding the pit. The more colorful your mangoes are, the better! A juicy mango means maximum flavor.

Blend It All Together: In a blender, combine mango chunks, coconut milk, lime juice, and honey. Blend until smooth and creamy—aim for a consistency that’s not too thick but still luxurious.

Taste and Adjust: Give your soup a quick taste test. If you prefer it sweeter or tangier, adjust with more honey or lime juice as needed to find that perfect balance.

Chill Out!: Transfer your blended soup into an airtight container and refrigerate for at least two hours. This allows all those flavors to mingle beautifully—a little patience goes a long way!

Serve with Style: Once chilled, serve in bowls or glasses garnished with mint leaves. Optional: top with extra diced mango for added flair—because who doesn’t love extra fruit?

And there you have it! Your Chilled Mango Soup is ready to wow your friends and family—or just provide you with an excellent reason to keep eating mangoes straight out of the fridge!
