Welcome to the forum, Felmingham. What a shame your first posting was for something that didn't work out. I haven't tried this soup yet as I'm not a coriander fan, but it may be worth you trying again as the soup seems to have very positive reviews. We all have disasters at one time or another, maybe try to remember if you deviated from the recipe, however accidentally, and see if your next pot of soup works out better for you.
