    My mom & I LOVED this recipe, especially the use of TVP. I love coconut to begin with - and it gave us enough to have throughout the week. - 5/12/09

    The ingredient list says coconut milk, the instructions say evaporated. I used broth instead of water and bouillon, less salt, better taste, and coconut milk. It was delicious! - 5/21/20

    Very yummy! I used a can of lite coconut milk and no evaporated milk and it was still delicious. Made my own chx broth from a rotisserie chx and added chx with mushrooms, zucchini, baby corn, onion, carrots,& broccoli into soup because I didn't feel like sauteeing the veg. Will make again, thanks! - 9/2/14

    ...I did a Makeover for this recipe as I didn't have all the ingredients and it seemed like a lot of sugar and fat. I used silk coconut milk and other substitutions and almost doubled (2Cups) the portion size for 300 cals each count. Go to my spark page and look in my recipe collection to find it. - 1/17/12

    I live overseas too and can't get any sort of coconut paste, but we do use coconut milk powder in curries and pumpkin soup which has a very nice flavor. I'm going to try this recipe next week when company comes. - 1/13/12

    When it comes to the coconut paste...are you referring to the frozen mixers for pina coladas? I couldn't find anything else that came close to "coconut paste" in the huge store I was in. I want to make this Saturday, so if you get a moment to reply, that would be really appreciated. Thanks! - 10/1/09

    Hi again, Jenners. I'm now living in Indonesia, so switching to 200mL cocunut milk (about 1/2 cup?). I'm sure light cocunut milk would be just as good, if you can get your hands on it.

    The soup base sounds great - did I miss what vegetables and what quantity of veggies? - 5/21/09

    Sorry! I guess I didn't put what veggies. I use carrots and baby corn as a must, and you can add whatever vegetables you like on top of that. I'll go add that to the recipe right now!
