I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as flavorful as I expected.

This soup is a bit too rich for me. I think I'll use less coconut milk next time.

I'm not a big fan of galangal root, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious.

This soup is a bit spicy for me, but I still love it. I just add a little less chili pepper next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this soup because I'm not a big fan of coconut milk, but I'm so glad I did. The coconut milk adds a really nice richness and creaminess to the soup.
