This Coconut Lime Soup is refreshing, delicious and full of nutritional goodness! It's the perfect way to warm up during those early days of spring.
"You put the lime in the coconut, and you drink em' both together. You put the lime in the coconut, and you'll feel better." We all know that famous song by Harry Nilsson, but did you know that both lime and coconut really do possess some pretty amazing health benefits?!
Turns out, this song actually does hold some merit. Plus, it's fun to sing while making this delicious plant-based soup!
This is my healthy little twist on Thai coconut soup. It's a great choice for springtime when there's still a chill in the air, but we're also no longer craving the heavy, hearty meals that get us through the winter. It's warm, comforting and light! The lime gives it a refreshing zest, while the coconut milk is full of health-promoting satiating fats, leaving you feeling full but not stuffed.
