      Recipe is created for
      TM 5
      If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

    Made this tonight after trying a similar soup on the weekend.
    I added some sliced Ginger with the garlic & onion & 2 cans of coconut cream then made up the rest of the liquid with water. Next time I’ll probably try one can instead of the 2, it was slightly thicker than I wanted.
    The flavour was fab!
    Thanks for sharing

    Tasty but a bit spicy for me.
    I added one teaspoon of curry powder and that had enough "kick" for me.
    I also added chopped bacon during the cooking stage.
    Will be making this again.
