Awesome - just tried it out! Added some more veggies (potatoes, spinach, and cauliflower), and added a can of light coconut milk at the end of cooking instead of using the coriander oil... very yummy!! - 11/8/10

This sounds great but I will skip the coriander and maybe add a bit of ground ginger instead. - 10/17/10

The coriander oil didn't impress me ... before I drizzled some on the soup while eating it!! It added a whole new nuance of wonderful flavor to the whole dish. A definite keeper!
