This recipe may be a good idea in theory, or when done correctly, but know ADD THE COCONUT MILK NEAR THE END! Just long enough for it to heat up. I followed the recipe as listed, did it for my first time for a work potluck. It said to cook on Low for up to 4 hours. This won't work with the coconut milk. I learned the hard way that the milk gets too hot and separates. It changes the texture, look, and flavor of the soup. Bummer.
