ordinarily, I'd say don't touch coconut milk, dessicated or creamed if you are on the Fitbitch Eating Plan (different if you're on maintenance or training for endurance) but as long as you stick to these quantities you should be fine. To be even stricter, just use yoghurt and forgo the coconut.
Ingredients
Frozen peas, 100g
1 onion, chopped
1 potato, finely sliced
1 birds eye green chilli, chopped (or half if you don't like it hot)
25g creamed coconut
2 cloves of garlic
Fresh mint
Saute the chopped onion, garlic and chilli in a pan with water. When it starts to soften add the peas and the potato and coconut and cover with water. Bring to the boil and then simmer until the potato is soft. Whizz up in food processor or with a hand blender. Add salt and pepper to season and chopped mint, whizz again and serve.
If you are one of those people who can't seem to think of soup as a meal unless it has bread with it, try a rice cake broken into pieces on top or a ryvita. It's like a healthy crouton!

I love this soup! As a variation I use chopped butternut squash instead of potato, a cupful of half fat coconut milk and a teaspoon of garam masala which gives it a hot kick. The butternut squash makes it thick and creamy so I found I didn't need anything else with this soup!
