Jamaican Curried Shrimp & Mango Soup

From EatingWell: January/February 2011

Transport yourself to the islands with this Jamaican-inspired soup, full of fresh shrimp and sweet mangoes. We loved this soup with regular store-bought curry powder, but if you happen to have Jamaican-style curry powder, which has a hint of allspice, this is a great place to use it. Serve with brown basmati or jasmine rice with sliced pineapple for dessert.

My Family Loved It!

It was so easy to make. I used 2 extra cloves of garlic, and instead of adding it after the onions, I turned the fire to medium-low, added the oil, THEN the garlic and let it slowly infuse with the oil until it turned a nice golden color. It really brings out that garlicky flavor. After that, I turned the fire back to medium and followed the recipe as stated.

And don't skip out on the dried thyme! It really makes a wonderful difference.

I used chicken broth instead, and it turned out amazingly good.

And I added cilantro with the scallions.

Overall, it was so, so good. Mangos in a soup? After this, I say yes.

Pros: Extremely simple and quick to prepare!

One of the quickest (for that much flavor) and easiest soup I've ever made.

No where to post personal notes and comments.

I made minor changes and additions but nowhere is there a category for comments under 'My Recipes'.
Added chopped cilantro.
Added chopped fresh ginger.
Added cumin.
Added more garlic.
Would like to add sliced lime next time.

Pros: Very tasty

Easy and Delicious!

I'm not really a fan of mango, but my husband likes weird things so I decided to try this. The mixture of flavors truly is phenomenal. I followed the recipe to the T, and it was amazing and surprisingly very filling. The flavors and textures are so interesting, but in a wonderful way.

Pros: super easy, smells good, tastes good

Its Easy to Make This Flavorful Dish

It was negative 0 degrees yesterday and a hot, rich and spicy soup was exactly what I wanted. Perfect timing to make this recipe! Although I needed it to be a little heartier for my own taste and mood (I added long grain white rice and some sausage) this recipe has made a home in my recipe binder.

What a great and easy way to insert some really interesting flavors into a weeknight dinner. I was surprised so much flavor came from simply using curry and thyme. I wonder what a bay leaf or 2 would add?

Pros: Great level of spice, rich, and pretty simple to make

depth of flavor, satisfying dish

This is a great one dish meal. It is tasty and has quite a satisfying mouth feel. It is a great balance of sweet and savory and sour and salty. A little crunch on the side with toasted pita was all I needed.

Pros: easy to fix, common ingredients
