Potential changes & improvements
If you want a thinner soup, you can add more chicken broth. For a thicker soup, add less. You can also add a bit of lime juice for a brightness, or swap out the mint for cilantro.
What other food it works well with
This soup goes well with a green salad and a crusty baguette.
Common Mistakes
Be sure to taste the soup before serving, and adjust the seasoning as needed. The soup can also be a bit too sweet, so add the honey sparingly.
