For an even smoother texture, you can strain the blended soup through a fine-mesh sieve.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference.
If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use a sprinkle of dried cilantro, though the fresh flavor is preferable.
Consider adding a squeeze of lime juice at the end for added brightness.
