One of the things I love about this soup is that it is easy to have the ingredients on hand to throw together. It’s not too spicy – it’s actually kind of sweet with a lovely coconut smell. So it’s pretty kid friendly. My 1 year old thought it was pretty good but my bigger kids were both a little suspicious. They did try a little though. This is definitely a soup I will be making again and again. It feels like comfort food but one you can feel really good about eating.
