potentially a good starter base to soup at home.

While the flavor wasn't awful, I felt the 'thai' was very faint. Any kefir lime in it was absesnt. I added rice noodles, fresh lime juice, cilantro, drizzled fresh plain yogurt on top, and salt. I have to say, the pieces of mini cobs of corn were not appealing. They were hard, woody, held very little flavor and were unpleasant to chew.
All in all, the soup really did lack flavor and it was thin. I had never tried this brand before but see it everywhere, so I did expect more.
