Standard mirepoix. Sauerkraut, pork sausage, potato, poblano pepper, dried cherry, tomato paste, coconut milk, caraway seed, allspice, fish sauce, beef bouillon, sugar, paprika, parsley, garlic.
A bit different from regular kapustnica, but the cherries and coconut milk helped to even out the piquancy of the kraut.
Mirepoix: red onion, celery, carrot. Roasted cauliflower, quinoa, raisin, half and half, coconut milk, coconut flakes, curry powder, ginger.
This was a fun one, jam packed with pureed and chunks of cauliflower.

Mirepoix: red onion, carrot. Cod, potato, zucchini, cottage cheese, fish sauce, worcestershire sauce, garlic, curry paste, Thai basil, dried basil, coconut milk, lemon thyme, lemon juice, sugar.

Onion, roasted corn, potato, cream, cream cheese, prepared mashed potatoes, coconut milk, rosemary, dill, garlic, butter, potato starch.
I first encountered potage in Tokyo, where it’s quite popular. Seemed a nice simple corn soup that I could jazz up a bit.

Mirepoix: yellow onion, green bell pepper, shallot. Ham, yellow and green zucchini, mushroom, fresh ginger, lime leaves, coconut milk, milk, red pepper flakes, Thai basil, garlic, black pepper.
We never have donations of lemongrass, and rarely have curry paste, so I can only try to approximate the Thai flavor. Although I’m unsure if Thais use ham in curry.

Fish sauce opened up again in my backpack, even though I had wrapped the top with saran wrap. Had to throw it into the wash machine again.

I mentioned in another post how the coconut milk was near insipid. Problem fixed with coconut flakes. Yay!

Mirepoix: yellow onion, rainbow carrot, celery, poblano pepper. Zucchini, roasted mushrooms, red bell pepper, coconut milk, garlic, lime juice, sugar.
Roasted the shrooms.
It’s “almost” Asian because the coconut milk had practically no taste. Does coconut milk go flat with age?

Standard mirepoix. Tomato, white fish (the package had no label; it might have been cod), fresh coconut water, coconut milk, cumin, oregano, parsley flakes, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic.
Que bacana–leite de côco. Não tenho a mínima ideia do que tipo de peixe usei– não tinha etiqueta. Talvez fosse bacalhau.
