1) Don't add the cilantro or parsley until the very end, or it will turn brown.
2) Consider blending the part of the coconut soup base with half of the zucchini to incorporate the the squash flavor into the soup. Then pour it all into the main pot for a flavorful mix.
3) a few drops of sesame oil worked well as a finishing touch at the end!
4) I added chicken broth powder to give more flavor--- depending on how salty for curry paste is...
was delicious and my kids enjoyed it!
