Let me start off by saying this is literally the BEST soup Cooks have ever tasted. A cook promise This kitchen is not exaggerating. Not. Even. A. Little.

A cook first had this at the girlfriend's house during one of our many girl's nights and was completely shocked at how satisfying this was! Folks this is not a bland soup by any stretch of the imagination – the spices that go into it make this incredibly flavorful and they just blend so perfectly. A cook mean we are talking cinnamon, coriander, cumin, ginger…it gets pretty intense.
