Continuing this “Angel Feast” with my started “On a cloud”. I adapted a Thai recipe chicken soup with coconut milk that I love in the form of a mushroom soup topped with a floating island to stay in my angelic theme. A fun recipe to make for dinner because you can prepare it in advance and cook the floating islands at the last minute in the microwave. The floating island gives a twist to a rather simple starter and can decorate any king of cream or soup.

The only irreplaceable ingredient in the recipe is the curry paste which gives a very different flavor compared to curry powder. You will find in Asian grocery stores or supermarkets shelves exotic, choose the green if you have a sensitive palate, or red if you like the food was identified.
