Notes
You can modify the protein in this soup by adding shrimp, chicken, or chickpeas for a plant-based option. Serve with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
For added heat, toss in some sliced jalapeños or red pepper flakes. Enjoy with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or a dollop of yogurt.
If you like your soup thicker, consider adding more coconut milk or blending part of the soup to create a creamy texture.
