Mango Coconut Foam Soup
This mango coconut foam soup is rich, airy and just a bit spicy. Since it’s a culinary foam instead of a traditional liquid soup, the texture is different than what many people will expect, which adds an all new dimension to the dish. The coconut, mango and curry combine to create a slightly sweet, spicy flavor profile that makes this a great way to start just about any meal.

This recipe makes enough for a 0.5 L iSi Whip. If you’d rather, you can also use the iSi Thermo Whip so that you don’t have to use the bain-marie or water bath.
