I know people use it this way -- but it's technically for cooking. Because it is so low in temp the worry is that food will be in the "food danger zone" for too long and not get to the proper heated temp quick enough when reheating.<br /><br />That said. Yes, this soup reheats nicely.

But I bought it and tried it. Delicious!!! Lots of exclamation points here, but this recipe deserves it. The only change I made was to sprinkle in about 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper.... And used coconut milk instead of cream. This will be a go to for me.

The only part I do differently is the ginger; I've used dry instead of fresh, and the last time I made it I was out of ginger so I skipped it altogether. Soup still tasted great. I've never felt the need for the cream because it seems creamy enough to me once I've stick-blended.<br /><br />This is one of my favorites!Jennyhttp://jen-and-em.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-28210682679714719692012-03-05T16:12:20.283-08:002012-03-05T16:12:20.283-08:00I had the same issue as an anonymous poster above....I had the same issue as an anonymous poster above.

The flavor was really off... it seemed like there was too much ginger and something else wasn't quite right either.

She recently started refusing to be fed anything. But she has happily slurped down large servings of this soup several times. This makes a lot so I froze two ice cube trays of soup for future easy meals for her.
