The Time Management sections details how to prepare the recipe with a minimum amount of time if you’re preparing it by itself or if you’re preparing it with other dishes.

The Complimentary Foods and Drinks section gives some suggestions of what goes well with the featured dish. Complimentary Food and Drinks Try pairing this with an easy-to-make, small salad that features sliced avocado, a little bit of fresh olive oil, and a few pumpkin seeds for some crunch. The Where to Shop section lets you know the best places, outside of any local specialty stores you might have, to get the ingredients. Where to Shop Farmers’ markets and co-ops are usually the best places to get the freshest fruit, so look there for the mango. Fresh mint (do not use dried) can most easily be gotten in most super-markets as well as the ginger. In the Southwest, chipotle powder can be found in most grocery stores. In other parts of the country, you may have to look in specialty stores or gourmet markets. The How It Works section tells you what’s going on with the recipe to create the flavors, how the ingredients work together, what balances and contrasts exist, etc., so that you can learn how foods work together and pick up on the patterns that go into making great vegan cuisine. How It Works This dish is full of refreshing ingredients. The mango is rich and sweet while the mint has a spring-time green feel to it. The ginger blends well with the body of the soup and gives it a bit of bite while the chipotle powder really jumps out at you, but remains balance by the sweetness of the soup. The Chef’s Notes section is the place to find tricks, tips, and how the chef prefers to serve the dish. Chef’s Notes The easiest way to peel a mango is to slice lengthways down both sides of the seed. Run the knife gently along the flesh of the mango, cutting it into cubes. Push the sides and flesh inside out and scrape the mango cubes out with a spoon. With the inner disc left over, run the knife along the skin and once it’s de-skinned, cut the remaining part off of the seed. When choosing the mango, make sure it is very ripe. Otherwise, the mango will not be sweet enough for the soup. I find that other chili powders don’t work as well with this recipe as they don’t carry quite the smokiness of the chipotle powder.

Once you put the soup in the bowl, sprinkle a little bit of chipotle powder in the center of the soup and then place a sprig of mint just off center. This provides two contrasting and vibrant colors to the yellowish-orange of the soup.
