Notes

For best results, make sure not to rush the sautéing of the onions and spices, as this step builds the foundational flavor of the soup. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper based on your heat preference, and feel free to add more lime juice if you prefer a tangier soup. If you want a creamier consistency, blend the soup for a longer period or add a little more coconut milk.
