Chef's Tips

For a creamier soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the lemon juice and coriander.

Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your desired level of spice.

Add other vegetables like sweet potatoes, zucchini, or spinach for added nutrients and flavor.

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
