This has been one of my favorite soup recipes from Cooking Light and I make it over and over again! It's quick, easy, and delicious. I can't do spicy, so I only put in maybe 1/8 tsp of the chili sauce and let others add in some Sriracha if they want the heat. Since I love coconut, I usually make coconut rice to go with it - a cup of rice in the bottom of the bowl adds more body, and ups the coconut flavor! Stores well, but if you're planning to reheat, reserve the peas, as they get mushy.
