- Add the ginger and curry paste and saute for another minute.

- Stir in the soy sauce and season with salt, as necessary.

Notes
- I made this soup with my children in mind, so the flavour of curry quite mild. If you enjoy a hot curry then use up to 2 tablespoons of curry paste.
- Using cultured coconut milk adds a dose of probiotics to the meal. However, if you aren’t using cultured coconut milk, then simply stir a whole can of coconut milk into the soup.
- I’ve suggested cilantro and toasted pumpkin seeds as toppings in the recipe. However, I like to add fresh vegetables to a thick and creamy soup. Adding chopped red pepper, spring onions or tomatoes on top of the soup provides a nice contrasting flavour.
- If you don’t have an immersion blender
then you will have to puree in batches in a blender.

This soup makes a great meal with a piece of bread. My kids don’t like curry, so we just do the garlic and ginger.
