Yummilicious "Skinny Bitch" Thai Coconut Soup

Whether you are an avid cookbook collector, a quickie online recipe-grabber or a naturally gifted home cook, there are cookbooks that seem to become your own personal first responders. The "Skinny Bitch Ultimate Everyday Cookbook" by Kim Barnouin has become a habitual go-to for me because the recipes are interesting, easy and provide a modern twist to the everyday. My daughter thumbed through the book and placed bookmarks on all the recipes that she wants me to make… eventually. Since I’m always open to ideas for delicious vegan dishes to try, I take a look at these lovingly bookmarked pages whenever my mind goes blank or I’m up for something new. This is a great way to get kids involved in healthy eating—actively looking through a cookbook, picking out recipes they like and helping to prepare them is so good for them on many levels. 

Thai Coconut Soup is a recipe that I might not have made had my daughter not earmarked, it but I am so glad that I did! Bursting with flavor, hearty and healthy, this soup was absolutely delicious.  My husband, who is normally my best guinea pig (just an expression!), was a bit tentative about the flavor prospects of this soup, but really loved it at the very first taste. It certainly didn’t disappoint my daughter, who wants me to put this in my regular cooking routine. We decided that if you add 3 ingredients to anything, you will make it “Thai”—coconut milk, lemongrass and lime juice. Of course, some basil and cilantro seals the deal! Whether you’re a Thai food “beginner” or  lover, this soup will hit all the buttons!
