Tested

"Suzie, did you heat the milk before pouring it into the pot? I made the mistake of pouring cold milk into a hot pan in another recipe once - it curdled badly. I only had one can of coconut milk on hand, so I used that and the rest regular milk - heated them together in a small pot on the stove before adding to the soup. It was still delicious with the milk, but next time it'll be all coconut, just because I love it. Leftovers are great - I'm eating a bowl right now! I don't think it would be as good on day 2 if made with rice. Quinoa soaks up a lot of liquid, just as rice does, but the quinoa still retains its bite. Rice would get too soggy."
