This soup is pure comfort because it’s warming and it’s thick and creamy. And it’s a bit spicy, so if anyone who doesn’t like it hot, well I’m sorry that you are missing out on your new favourite soup. Just like me, you will fall in love with this incredible peanut and coconut soup with chicken, vermicelli and veggies. It’s with heaps of fresh herbs and spicy chilis. The pairing of peanuts, coconut milk and hot spices is fantastic and will remind you of your last trip to Bangkok or Bali. The recipe is really simple and will take you about an hour to prepare. Sounds a bit long but absolutely worth it. It’s a wonderful recipe if you have a few chili-proof friends over for dinner. There are a few ingredients you might not have at home but you can find them in any Asia shop. Things like bamboo shoots, vermicelli, unsalted peanuts or even shiitake mushrooms, you will find them all of them there. Or just find them online, like these raw peanuts.

The recipe is perfect if you are on a fructosefree diet, just make sure you use sugar free coconut milk. For all you vegetarian food lovers, just leave out the chicken and add a few more veggies!

Incredible peanut and coconut soup with chicken

Incredible delicious Thai style peanut and coconut soup with chicken, vermicelli noodles, veggies and herbs

  • 1 bunch coriander
  • 1 bunch thai basil
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 fresh lime
  • 1 handful fresh baby spinach
  • 3 tbsp roasted peanuts

  1. Start with soaking the shiitake mushrooms in 70 ml warm water. After about 30 minutes, drain mushrooms but keep the water. Cut the mushrooms in slices and cut off the stems because they are too hard. 

  2. Go on with roasting the unsalted peanuts under constant stirring for about 5 minutes. Set aside and let them cool down a bit. 

  3. Peel and chop the ginger into slices. Wash and roughly chop coriander, keep the roots. Wash, pad dry the thai basil and pick the leaves of the stalk. We are now going to prepare the bird’s eye chilis, if you have disposable gloves please wear them. Remove the seeds from bird’s eye chilis and finely chop them. Wash, peel and cut the carrots in slices. Open the bamboo shoots, drain the water and set aside.

  4. Now add the roasted peanuts, coriander roots, ginger, half of the bird’s eye chilis, kaffir lime leaves, coconut milk, soy sauce, salt, juice of 1 lemon and the water from the shiitake mushrooms into a high speed blender and blend about 3 minutes or until smooth. 

  5. Wash, pad dry the chicken breast and cut into 2 cm cubes. 

  6. Heat up your creamy peanut coconut mix in a large saucepan and add the veggie or chicken stock. Bring quickly to a boil and then reduce heat to medium high. Now add the shiitake mushrooms, chicken cubes, carrots and bamboo shoots to soup and simmer for about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt or soy sauce. 

  7. Prepare the vermicelli rice noodles according to package instructions.

  8. Just before you are ready to serve add the baby spinach to soup and stir in. Divide the vermicelli to your soup bowls and add the soup. Top with coriander, thai basil, roasted peanuts and if you like it extra hot with a few slices of chili. Bon Appetit!

It’s about time for a kohlrabi recipe! I can’t believe haven’t shared a recipe of this outer space looking vegetable before. This knobby purple or green veggie not only has a funny name, cole-rah-bee, but also a very fine and distinctive taste. You can eat it raw or cooked, like this creamy dreamy kohlrabi soup with cress. The best time to buy kohlrabi is from mid July to mid November. Choose medium size bulbs because the big ones tend to be stringy. You have to peel the kohlrabi before you eat it raw or cooked. I like kohlrabi carpaccio with a bit of salt and pepper and a drizzle of pumpkin seed oil. It’s also a wonderful side dish cooked with a bit of butter. If you cook it you can also use the kohlrabi leaves!

Kohlrabi is such a wonderful veggie! It’s ok to eat in moderation if you are suffering from fructose malabsorption. But of course, test with a small portion first if your stomach can handle it. As it’s part of the cabbage family it’s a bit harder to digest anyway. Sounds weird, but I experienced that if you freeze veggies from the cabbage family before you prepare it then it’s way easier to digest!

  • 700 ml veggie stock
  • 100 ml heavy cream
  • 100 ml white wine
  • salt
  • pepper
  • olive oil
  • 0,5 lime
  1. Wash the parsley and chop it roughly. Wash and trim the kohlrabi leaves. Cut it into medium size pieces. Put parsley and kohlrabi leaves in a high speed blender wit 2-3 tbsp of olive oil and blend until smooth. 

  2. Peel and cut the kohlrabi into rough cubes. Peel and cut the parsnip into rough slices. Peel and cut the potato into rough cubes. Heat up some olive oil in a big pot and add the parsnip. Let the parsnip roast for 3 minutes and then add the kohlrabi and potatoes. Deglaze after about 5 minutes with the white wine and add about 700 ml of veggie stock. Give it a gentle stir and let it simmer for about 20 minutes. Take it off the heat and blend with a hand-held blender or in a mixer until smooth.

I’ve to share with you today this simply delicious pasta in brodo with peas and Speck recipe. It is truly yummy and I’m going to eat it all November! The original recipe idea comes from the traditional Italian recipe Pasta e fagioli. But I wanted something fresh, contemporary and easy to digest. Not to mention, this recipe has it all. A bit of Italian tradition, healthy veggies, creamy ricotta and fresh mint. It’s the dinner dish you have been waiting for all year!As a matter of fact the recipe is really quick and easy, but the flavour is delightful complex. Pasta, bacon, peas, ricotta and mint are a dreamlike food pairing and fit so well together. In brodo is Italian and means in broth but I wouldn’t call it a soup because the main actor is pasta. The broth makes it juicy!

I absolutely love pasta and this round anelli pasta shape is perfect for this souplike dish. If you prefer other pasta shapes make sure you use small ones like fregula, ditalini or orzo.

Try this recipe and I promise you this will be your November favourite too! Share your take on this or any other of my recipes, I would love to see your pics. Tag me on Instagram as @fifthfloorkitchen and use #fifthfloorkitchen hashtag.

Let the celeriac roast for 3 minutes and then add the broccoli. Deglaze after about 5 minutes with the white wine and add about 700 ml of veggie stock. Give it a gentle stir and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Now add the herbs and remove from the cooker. Blend with a hand-held blender or in a mixer until smooth. Put it back on the heat, add the cream and bring to cook one more time. Season with salt, pepper, tabasco, Worcester sauce and a dash of lime. 

  4. Put the soup in your soup bowls, add a spoon of sour cream and a some beluga lentils. Decorate with some herbs and a drizzle of olive oil. Bon Appetit!

With this spicy caprese soup we don’t mind a little summer thunderstorm after a hot day at all. Tomatoes, burrata, chili and basil will send you on a little holiday to bella Italia. I prefer this caprese soup over the classic caprese salad, because you get the full tomato flavour. The soup is a mix of fresh and ripe summer tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes in oil and tomato purée. Make sure you buy good quality tomato purée and tinned tomatoes without added sugar. 

Bellissima Spicy Caprese Soup

Tomatoes, burrata, chili and basil will send you on a little holiday to bella Italia.

  • 500 gram fresh ripe tomatoes
  • 500 gram good quality tinned tomatoes
  • 3-4 sun dried tomatoes in oil
  • 1 bunch basil
  • 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • olive oil
  • ciabatta
  • 1 ball burrata or mozzarella
  • 2-3 sticks celery
  • 2-3 tbsp tomato puree
  • 1 twig rosemary
  • 1 fresh spicy chili
  1. Wash and chop the tomatoes into quarters. Also wash and chop the celery sticks, the sun dried tomatoes and the spicy chili. 

  2. Now get a large, deep pan on the heat and add the olive oil. Gently fry the celery slices for about 10 minutes. Add the tomato puree, the chili and chopped tomatoes and keep an eye on it. Deglaze after about 5 minutes with the white wine vinegar and the tinned tomatoes. Add the rosemary twig and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. 

  3. Remove from the heat and blend with a highspeed blender or in a mixer until smooth. Put it back on the heat, bring to cook one more time and season with salt and pepper.

  4. Put the soup in your soup bowls and tear the burrata apart with your hands. Place the burrata or if you prefer mozzarella in the middle of your soup. Sprinkle with basil and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve with toasted ciabatta!
