Chef's Notes

Recipe Adapted from: Food & Wine


Use unsweetened coconut milk to jazz up the flavor of the soup.

Using freshly squeezed lime juice instead of bottled juice will bring the soup a bright, refreshing taste.

Add spinach at the very end and cook for under 30 seconds or until just wilted, so the leaves won’t be too soft and soggy when serving.

What an amazing and quick recipe!

I had a suggestion or question πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ

Instead of using lime juice, I’d love to opt for kaffir lime leaf and also the basil you mentioned - is it plain regular basil? Or Thai basil? The two are from two very different cultures but similar!

What do you think about these two supplementations?! I’m curious!

Thank you!! πŸ˜€
