This is a wonderful soup with a bit of heat! Made the recipe as posted with the exception of the cardamom and coriander...both of which I didn't have on hand. I served it warm Naan bread for dipping. Oh...and one more thing...I served it warm as we are still wrapped in winter here. Will make it cold for the summer. Thank you for posting!!!!
