  • 1 1/2 red onions
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 2-inch knob of ginger
  • 4 teaspoons coriander
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric

Notes

6 cloves of garlic and a 2-inch knob of ginger may seem like a lot, but they give this soup its rich flavor and immunity-boosting benefits. The flavors are balanced by the spices and coconut milk.
