Helpful Tips
If you’re new to blending soups, an immersion blender is the safest and easiest tool. For a creamier texture, add an extra half-cup of coconut milk. To make this recipe vegan, use coconut cream instead of dairy cream for garnishing.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove before serving.
Pairings
