Author Notes

I love fruit soups, with strawberry soup and plum soup at the top of my list. I wanted to create something with mangos that wouldn't be a dessert (because we've been eating so many cookies, crisps, and cakes lately), so soup seemed like a natural choice for me. —TheWimpyVegetarian

What You'll Need

Ingredients
  • 3 ripe mangos
  • 1 seven-ounce container of plain, low-fat Greek yogurt (I used fa*ge)
  • ¼ cup coconut milk
  • ¼ cup low-fat milk
  • 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons honey (I used Buckwheat honey)
  • 1 teaspoons mint leaves
  • 1/2 Serrano pepper, minced
Directions
  1. Slice the mangos in half around the large seed in the middle. Scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Put the flesh in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade.
  2. Add all the rest of the ingredients to the bowl, and whirl the processor like crazy. If you don't have a food processor, I'm sure a blend would work fine too.
  3. Chill for at least an hour before serving. I found the flavors to be best when chilled overnight.

Hi, Suzanne! One question: Do you have a rough measurement for how much mango actually goes in this recipe? I live in South Florida, where it's not only the height of mango season, but we have so many varieties in various sizes available, it's difficult to guess.

TheWimpyVegetarian July 17, 2012

That's a fair question RJ Flamingo! I'm not sure is the sad answer. I used fairly large mangos, I can tell you that much. I could have sworn I had that discussion with someone on my blog where I posted the recipe, but I can't find it now - so I must have imagined it. I promise to make this again over the next few days and I'll give you a much more precise answer :-)

linengirl May 31, 2012

This is a really lovely soup, Suzanne. Thank you for giving it to us!

TheWimpyVegetarian May 31, 2012

Thanks so much linengirl. It's perfect for the hot days that are upon us, that's for sure :-)

My mango trees are dripping with fruit and this is definitely going to get me outta bed to get the fruit rather than letting my chickens have em...this looks great and I have all the ingredients ready to go: do you think Tupelo honey would be a good honey to add? Or agave nectar or brown rice syrup or vermont maple?

TheWimpyVegetarian May 27, 2012

I'm so envious of all those mangos. Tupelo honey would be very nice, as would agave nectar. Hope you like it!!

dymnyno May 24, 2012

Beautiful recipe, Susan. Mangoes are one of my favorite fruits. (Darn...I'm missing mango season in Maui :) That's a good thing!)

TheWimpyVegetarian May 27, 2012

Thanks Mare! We're actually in Maui right now and am eating mangos everyday. And pineapple and papaya

dymnyno May 27, 2012
