| | curried coconut soup crowned with Szechuan pepper | Explanation:
I would favour 'curried coconut soup crowned with Szechuan pepper' or 'curried coconut soup with a Szechuan pepper crown'.
'Curried coconut' (adj. + noun) is the more usual form of expressing this, rather than 'curry coconut' (two nouns, which would need to be separated by an 'and', resulting in the longer and more clumsy 'curry and coconut soup').
As for the 'Haube', this could be made from a wide range of ingredients, including whisked cream and pepper (presented a little like a cappucino), a thicker cream containing eggs and pepper, a floating spicy dumpling - or even a pastry and pepper topping that provides a lid over the soup bowl.
I find the word 'crown' a lot more appealing than 'topping' and reflects the fact that the 'Haube' is on top of the soup (probably either floating or, if it is pastry, attached to the top rim of the soup bowl), without being too specific.
Naturally, the only way that you can be certain is to ask the client exactly how the 'Haube' is made. |
