Welcome fall! We love the change in seasons because with them we get to change our food. And we love the kind of food that warms your soul, like this Thai Chicken Coconut Soup from Elana Amsterdam at www.elanaspantry.com. I have changed just a few things about her original recipe to make it more to my liking. This soup is a go-to for the cold rainy days when you need something to warm you up from the inside out. Not to mention that when you eat it, you can practically feel the nutrients enter your body!
