Not all soups are served at the beginning of the meal either. Some soups are served between main courses to refresh the palate. Whether there’s a scientific basis for that or it’s just cultural fluff, I have no idea.
This cold coconut soup was served slightly chilled. I liked it very much but then I’m a huge fan of coconut cream and cilantro, and I’m an even bigger fan of coconut cream and cilantro combined.
