    It's an easy and rather astonishing soup - with a hot, sunshinely color and a tropically tantalizing taste.

    Flecked with splashes of heavy cream and touched up with a few scallion slices, it's a pretty soup - with a warm earthy sweetness overlaid with the tart of lemon and the spice of curry.
