Notes
Garnish the soup with the chopped cilantro. When using the blender to puree the soup. Remember that the soup is hot and it will expand and splatter if you're not careful. Start with small batches and by setting your blender on pulse then set it to puree. Consider covering the blender with a kitchen towel in case it does splatter.
