We’re huge soup fans in my family, and we’ve got a handful of recipes that are tried and true winners. But once in a while we all like to change things up a bit, and that’s where the fun begins. A few weeks ago I was playing around with some gorgeous organic shiitake mushrooms and some coconut milk – and this soup was born. It was an instant hit with everyone, and the beauty of it (aside from fabulous health benefits) is that it’s completely done in one hour.
Take a look: you have the medicinal properties of the shiitake (boosts immunity, lowers blood pressure, anti-cancer), the amino acids, a variety of alliums, and the fiber, potassium and rich vitamins in the carrots.
