Turn up the heat! Cayenne Pepper is the real star of this recipe, adding a pleasant burn to the sweet caramelized onions, and the cool creamy coconut milk. Besides its obvious culinary properties, its medicinal benefits are astounding. It improves circulation, lowers cholesterol, removes toxins from your bloodstream and has even been proven to kill prostate cancer cells. So, turn up the heat as high as you can take it, and enjoy this creamy soup.
