This is a really inadequate recipe. Following these instructions, the soup tasted awful. I've since found other recipes for this dish and now I know why - it leaves out essential things like tomato paste, lime juice and stock. Thumbs down.

Thanks for your comment. Just added another similar recipe which uses chicken stock and tomato paste, also the onions are sauteed too, hopefully you will enjoy this recipe!
