Thai-Inspired Chicken Soup

A fragrant mix of Thai spices blends perfectly with creamy coconut milk in this beautiful dish. This recipe is very versatile and allows you to mix in any veggies you have available at home. I like it with mushrooms, red pepper and spinach, all full of vitamin C and antioxidants.
