If you want to ease into some thai flavours...this soup is sooooooo gooooood. Or I loved it anyways. It is vegetarian (and vegan if you use veg broth instead of chicken) but a little higher in calories than some veggie soups cause it has a cup of peanut butter in it. That's why it's soooooooo goooood.

Ingredients:
1 onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced (I always grate mine over the pot, way easy)
1 red pepper, diced
1 carrot, sliced (like matchsticks)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp coriander
1/4 tsp cayenne
2 1/2 cups diced tomatoes (I just used one 14 oz can and it was enough tomato)
1 can coconut milk
1 cup natural peanut butter
1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth (I always use chicken)
juice from 3 limes
1 tsp salt
cilantro, chopped
dry roasted peanuts, unsalted, chopped
Directions:
In a large pot, cook onions, peppers and garlic until tender (5 minutes). Add spices and allow a minute or so for them to develop their flavour, then add all other ingredients except cilantro and peanuts and salt. Simmer until cooked through (and carrots are tender but not mushy- no one wants mushy carrots in their soup). Test if it needs the 1 tsp of salt or any other seasonings. Top with cilantro and chopped peanuts (the peanuts are a must- adds great texture). Makes 5-6 servings (yeah right..more like 3...depends on how much you like it).
