In a 4-quart pot, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic, the white parts of the scallions, and the bell pepper, and sauté over medium-low heat until softened and golden, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the coconut milk, rice beverage, corn, curry powder and the green parts of the scallions. Use a small amount of water to dissolve the curry paste, and add it to the soup.
