Why This Dish Is Amazing
This soup is light, refreshing, and perfect for warm days. It combines fresh vegetables with a smooth texture that feels both healthy and satisfying. Plus, it’s quick to prepare and requires no cooking, making it a great choice for busy schedules.
Step 1
Warm some olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and cook it for about 3 minutes until it softens. Then add the tomatoes and cook them, stirring now and then, until they start releasing their juices—this should take around 2 minutes. Take the pan off the heat and let everything cool down for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 2
Once it’s a bit cooler, transfer the tomato mixture to a blender and pulse a few times to break it up. Add the cucumber and pulse again until it’s chopped into small pieces. Next, add the coconut milk, mayonnaise, heavy cream, lime zest, curry powder, and a pinch of salt. Give everything a few more pulses until it’s nicely combined.
Step 3
Pour the soup into a bowl or container and pop it in the fridge to chill for at least an hour. When you're ready to serve, ladle it into bowls and sprinkle some fresh mint leaves and a bit of pepper on top. Enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of onion for this soup?
Yes, you can substitute yellow onion with white or red onion, but yellow onion has a milder, sweeter flavor that works best.
Is it necessary to cook the tomatoes and onions before blending?
Cooking softens the tomatoes and onions, enhancing their flavor and making the soup smoother, but you can skip this step for a fresher, chunkier texture.
Can I make this soup vegan?
Yes, replace mayonnaise and heavy cream with vegan alternatives like vegan mayo and coconut cream.
How long can I store the soup in the fridge?
It will keep well in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Can I use regular milk instead of coconut milk?
You can, but coconut milk adds a subtle creaminess and flavor that complements the curry powder well.
Is it okay to blend the soup completely smooth?
Yes, blending fully is fine if you prefer a smooth texture, but pulsing a few times keeps some chunks for more texture.
What can I serve with this soup?
It pairs well with crusty bread, crackers, or a light salad.
Can I add extra spices to make it spicier?
Yes, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to increase the heat.
