Originally made as written for the Goddesses of ZWT-9, I decided to add sml carrot chunks I needed to use after I took the 1st set of pics & felt the soup was too monochromatic & not showing as well as it deserved. While that helped, I do feel the presentation would benefit from the addition of snow peas (or mushrooms) that would add both color & texture. All that said, this soup has a lovely flavor we really enjoyed. I took your advice & began w/just half the amt of Siracha sauce & that was plenty for us. For those chefs who follow me (& I hope there will be many), my best advice is: ... Do Not Leave Out the Lime Juice! If you are in doubt, just add extra & you will not be sorry. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us, Lori. :-)
