Is there a substitute for the coconut milk to make this recipe more affordable? I have some coconut oil in the house already…..

There are tons of dairy free options so don’t stress about that. Earth’s balance, coconut oil, olive oil, grapeseed oil, canola oil….

Made this today with coconut oil (used just over 1T) and used sweet potatoes instead of regular. I’d baked and mashed a few the other day so I used that instead of grating more. I’m not a big fan of cinnamon but was brave and the soup is really good. I’m interested to see what the kids say!

Dear Mary,

I just purchased your book: “Family Feasts for $75 a Week” and I am enjoying it very much. So is my husband. I have made several of your recipes such as: Rice Cooker Oatmeal, (I never thought to use the rice cooker for anything other than rice) All Purpose Cooked Beans, (in the crockpot right now) Homemade Cocoa Mix, and Ranch Dressing Mix. There are several more I have marked to try. I love making my own mixes to control what goes into my food.

All I can say is: “Thank you for writing this book!”

I have to ask…is the coconut flavor strong? It sounds great, but got a picky eater that I have to ‘slide’ stuff past!

Sounds good. I hardly ever cook with coconut milk. Always fun to try something new.

I was craving a soup just like this last week!

But I’m not quite sure which part of the South Pacific the recipe comes from , I guess the flavours are just from that part of the world. I’m from the South Pacific – I can say this!
