After seeing Jamie Oliver do it, I’ve been using cilantro stems all the time. I love the cilantro-y crunch. Sounds perfect in this soup!

Jessica, I know of cilantro hate and so yes, in that case, i think you might want to do something else in its place. Dill sounds actually compelling – more so than basil, which I think would be more traditional.

I’m afraid I’m one of those people who absolutely HATES cilantro.
one of my biggest pet-peeves is cilantro being mixed in with the parsley at the grocery store :/
I wonder what kind of flavor dill would add to the soup. Or basil (I bet basil would be great)
