Fiery Tofu and Coconut Curry Soup image

From Cooking Light, this soup is inspired by similar soups from Thailand and Malaysia and balances fiery flavor with sweet and sour back notes. The crisp-tender vegetables offer a pleasant texture contrast to the custardlike tofu. Serve with a side of rice noodles drizzled with dark sesame oil and a cooling mango salad.
