Fantastic. Easy. Super balanced and delicious hot or cold. Cannot believe there are not dozens of notes.

Made this vegan by subbing unsweetened almond milk and vegetable broth. Served nutmeg for the mace. They’re different parts of the same spice and no need to buy expensive mace if you don’t have it on hand. Garnished it with fresh mango salsa instead of the shrimp: mango, lime, cilantro, jalapeño, red pepper, scallion. Delicious and refreshing cold summer soup
