 NOTES : Freezes well. If making to freeze straight away, add coconut and
 heat till melted.  Then add cold beans and coriander and leave to cool.
 Beans sink, so for even distribution add some to each container.
 I grate coconut straight into the soup with a rotary grater.
 Red beans make a nice contrast to the yellow soup, but you could use any
 cooked beans.
 1 tin (410g) of red kidney beans gave 8 oz drained beans, about 1 1/2
 cups.
 1 cauli gives 1 lb florets.
