I made this tonight for dinner out of the new 29 minutes to dinner cook book (volume 2).... It was ok... I have had better soup and worst but not something that I will likely make again for the cost of all the ingredients... Just wanted to give you guys my thoughts on the soup! Although you all my love it! The cocnut milk was a little over powering and 1 tbs of red curry sauce did not make it spicy enough for "me"... Also I did not like that I had to cut only STEMS of the cilantro and then save the leaves for another recipe later. :-)
