    This is a delightful recipe! I used red curry paste and after pureeing the soup, blended in a can of coconut milk. YUM!! I also sauteed some chard and lots of fresh garlic in olive oil and put a little pile of it on each serving for garnish and a wonderful flavor injection. Served leftover soup the next day combined with basmatic rice and peas. So versatile!! Thank you for this simple, wonderful recipe! I made it in my crockpot and it came out beautifully.
