Notes
Fresh coriander provides the best flavor, but frozen can be substituted if needed
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
Soup can be frozen for up to 3 months - thaw completely before reheating
For a creamier texture, add a splash of cream or coconut milk before serving
Adjust consistency by adding more stock if too thick, or simmer uncovered to thicken
Add chili flakes or fresh ginger for extra warmth and spice
The potato helps create a creamy texture when blended - don't skip it
