This soup is absolutely delicious and everyone in my family has loved it! Even when you vary it a bit for less people it still comes out great and I would highly recommend it. It does take a little bit of time because there are many things to do and different steps but it is worth it.

Interesting... I expected the coconut milk to bring a little more vibrancy to the flavor, but it was just lackluster. I added a little white wine and garlic and that seemed to give it a bit more depth.
