Serves:: 4

ingredients

2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
2 cups red potatoes, diced
¹⁄₂ cup onion, finely diced
2 tablespoons gingerroot, grated
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 cups vegetable broth
¹⁄₂ teaspoon sea salt
¹⁄₈ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 (15 ounce) can light coconut milk
10 basil leaves, chopped
10 mint leaves, chopped
¹⁄₄ cup cilantro, divided

directions

In a heavy medium saucepan, bring the corn, potatoes, onion, ginger, garlic, broth salt, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest to a boil over high heat, adding water to cover.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. With a potato masher, mash enough of the mixture to create a thicker soup (if you wish).
Add the coconut milk, basil, mint, and half of the cilantro and heat through.
Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve garnished with remaining cilantro and lime halves.

OK, have to admit that at first glance I did not think I would like this soup. Boy, was I surprised! It is very light and refreshing. Made as directed. The fresh ginger and the herbs really makes this soup! Great summer time lunch. Made for ZWT9 and "The Apron String Travelers"

I live in Knoxville, TN with DH, my beautiful son, and the most spoiled cat on the planet! I grew up in Cincinnati and landed in TN by way of Bloomington, IN and Santa Fe, NM. Needless to say, it's been a long, strange trip!! To explain the name: I was veg for 11 years, vegan for 1. In the last year or so I started eating poultry and fish again, but my brother-in-law's nickname for me (smelly vegetarian) has always stuck. Also...thanks a million to my Zaar fairy godperson :)!!! <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Holiday-plaid_HPI.gif"> <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v726/annacia/Permanent%20Banners/cc-banner-7-09.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/590105/hcabc.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/My-3-Chefs%20banners/my3chefs2008Small.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
