Notes
- Thin out with more water if the soup is too thick
- If it’s too thin add some nutritional yeast
- Instead of basil sprigs you could also use mint sprigs
- Lemon juice works of course too if you don’t have lime
- Instead of coconut milk and or green peas you could also use cashew cream or raw cashews
- Vegetarians can replace coconut milk with sour cream
