Outstanding soup! This recipe really surprised me. I expected to like it, but I love it!! Absolutely delicious. Great flavors. I love the mixture of beans and the veggies. The coconut milk is so delicious when added to the soup. The only change I'll make next time is to omit the lime addition at the end. I tasted the soup before adding the lime and then after, and actually liked it without the lime better! I'll make this soup again, for sure. Thanks! Made for ZWT9 Caribbean for the Soup-A-Stars.
