Thank you for your dedication and the recipes! However, the information is so much more beneficial!

  2. I can’t wait to make this soup. Looks amazing. Just wanted to know,
    can I leave out the coconut milk, or is necessary. Just wondering.
    Thanks

  3. Just letting you know I just made and ate this soup afternoon..
    Simply amazing. I will definately keep this recipe. By the way,
    I used a packet of powdered coconut milk mixed with water.
    Best not to leave this ingredient out. Makes all the difference.
    I also wanted to ask if this soup can be frozen. Thanks again.
