Tips for the Best Soup:
- Daikon Radish: Don’t be afraid of daikon! It has a mild, slightly peppery flavor that works beautifully in this soup. It cooks similarly to a potato but with a fraction of the carbs.
- Full-Fat Coconut Milk: Using full-fat coconut milk is key to achieving that rich, creamy texture. Don’t use light coconut milk, as it won’t provide the same level of creaminess.
- Spice Level: Adjust the amount of curry powder to suit your taste. If you like a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.
- Garnish Generously: Fresh cilantro and chopped peanuts add a beautiful pop of color and flavor. Don’t skimp on the garnish!
