Jessi Kha Soup is delicious and great for your soul, and your immune system.
I just know that you will love Jessi Kha Soup as much as I do. When I used to live in Denver there was a restaurant called Thai Basil that was one of my favorite places to visit. I used to love to go there and order their Tom Kha Soup. It was heaven in a bowl. Every time I ate it I felt a sense of renewal. It was as if all my cells radiated with healing and joy in unison. If you have never tried Tom Kha Soup it’s a classic Thai coconut soup and it’s delicious.
When I moved away to the foothills I knew it was time to create this cup of heaven at home. Over the past handful of years, I’ve added ingredients and taken them away to make it perfect. This is my all-time favorite soup to make and my husband Brandon’s favorite soup to eat. You can whip it up and have it throughout the week. It has shiitake mushrooms, which are amazing for your immune health.
Jessi Kha Soup is gluten-free, and dairy-free, and you have the option to make it pescatarian or vegan. Please modify it to your preference and let me know how you like it. Enjoy!
