Thai Coconut Soup Recipe – Gluten-free & Plant-based

If you enjoy Asian food, this is a classic Thai soup that has all the savory Thai flavors!

This soup is a delicious way to add some mushrooms to your diet. According to a study conducted by The University of Western Australia in Perth, eating mushrooms daily may reduce breast cancer risk by nearly two thirds. The study, conducted in China, looked at more than 2000 women, half of whom had suffered from breast cancer.

Researchers found that the women who ate a third of an ounce of fresh mushrooms every day had lowered their risk of developing a tumor by 64%. Dried mushrooms didn’t have quite the same benefit, but still reduced the risk “by around half.”

This soup is gluten-free and vegan.
