FAQ

  • Can I use a different nut butter?

    Yes! Almond butter or tahini could be used, but be aware the flavor will change slightly.
  • Is this soup spicy?

    The spice level depends on the chili garlic sauce. If you prefer a milder soup, omit the chili garlic sauce.
  • Can I use fresh ginger and garlic?

    Yes, you can use about 1/2 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger and 1/2 teaspoon of minced fresh garlic. Sauté them in a bit of oil before adding the other ingredients.
  • Can I freeze this soup?

    It is best to consume the soup immediately for optimal flavor and texture. Freezing may alter the texture of the coconut milk.
