    A bowl of white creamy coconut soup

    This Cameroon coconut soup is easy to make and really tasty. The coconut is subtle and adds a lovely creaminess to it.   I added some hot pepper to spice it up a bit, it was a lovely soup. The combination of leeks and onions made for some great flavor.

    Serve as part of your Cameroon meal or it would make a wonderful lunch on its own some nice crusty bread.
