Cream of Coconut Tempeh
Serves: 4
I use butternut squash soup (in the asceptic container) to add creaminess, color and flavor. Corn or potato leek soup could also be used as well as a canned, cream soup. Almost any vegetables will do, in the amounts you like. You may also substitute tofu for the tempeh. Serve over couscous, millet, quinoa or rice.

This looks absolutely amazing! I can't wait to give it a try! (I don't know why I always forget that I LOVE Tempeh)
