[Too Many Pots]

I had this soup at the restaurant on a Friday and faithfully duplicated (but doubled) the recipe at home on Sunday. It just wasn't as flavourful at home. I ended up grating more ginger and squeezing the juice into the already puréed soup together with some additional curry powder. In the end, I also added about a teaspoon of salt as a brightener. It was good but not as good as what I had had at Three Guys.
