This soup is just bursting with amazing flavours! This is traditionally called tom kha which is a classic Thai dish. It’s perfect for this time of the year and can make you feel good from the inside out. It’s super cozy with warm, sweet-spicy flavours, so you can curl up and stay feeling great all winter long. You can make this vegan and plant based, if you want and just omit the fish sauce. This recipe is gluten free, grain free and paleo friendly. This recipe can be made in under 30 minutes and great for any day of the week. I hope you like it as much as I do!
