I'm not a big fan of coriander, but I still liked this soup. The other flavors were strong enough to balance it out.

The soup was a bit too thick for my liking. I added some more broth to thin it out.

The soup is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably add less ginger next time.
