Smokin’ hot tomato soup…

Just a little chipotle in adobo sauce can go a long way into fueling the fire of your traditional tomato soup. Chipotle pepper adds a delicious smoky heat, and a little extra adobo sauce provides a nice earthy undertone to the soup. For those only moderately into spicy foods, we recommend using only one chipotle, but for those with more adventurous taste buds, you could add a second for some bigger heat. Serve with crusty bread, and you have yourself a delicious and filling spicy lunch!

Spicy Thai Coconut Soup

by Matt Bray

Creamy, spicy, and full of flavor…

Spicy Thai coconut soup is our favorite Asian comfort food: rich, creamy, spicy, and fragrant. It’s one of those dishes that announces its presence with smells that taste good enough to eat! It’s hearty enough to stand on its own, but pour it over jasmine rice and you have a real meal at the ready in minutes.

The heat in this recipe is delivered by fresh red jalapeño, but you can opt for a few other directions. If you want more spiciness, try Thai peppers (it’s a significant upgrade, so be ready) or if you have sambal oelek at hand, you can use a few teaspoons of it in the soup to provide a comparable heat to jalapeño.
