This is my new favourite soup! I could eat this everyday. I make this with vegetable broth, and coconut milk. It makes this soup vegan friendly, gluten and dairy free. Since I've been eliminating dairy from my diet, this is a great treat for me. It tastes very creamy and delicious!

If you change the chicken broth to vegetable broth then this recipe can be called vegetarian.

Very good, my husband (who thinks a meal without meat is a punishment) LOVED it. Interesting flavors, easy to make. We will definitely make again!
