I’m thrilled to be a part of Pacific Natural Foods’ Everyday Chef Challenge! For the first round of the competition, $5 Dinners, Aggie’s Kitchen, Herbivoracious, A Savory Nest and I will be using a “secret” ingredient along with one of Pacific Natural Foods’ broth products *.
The secret ingredient for this round? Mushrooms. I used shiitake, though any type will work for the recipe below. And I have chosen to use their Organic Vegetable Broth.

Equipment
This gluten free Thai Vegetable Soup can be made in a jiffy with all natural, easy to find ingredients. It’s a wonderful dish to prepare for dinner on a chilly night when you are pinched for time. Get the children to trim and chop the mushrooms for you to speed up the process. Your end result could be mighty satisfying; my little guy ate 3 bowls of this last night and was lapping it up!
So, head on over to Pacific and place your vote for me (if you like my recipe), or one of my competitors’ recipes. For more information check out Pacific Foods details about the Everyday Chef Challenge.

How many quarts does this make or how many servings? I am making it for a soup swap and need 8 quarts. Thanks!

I just made this tonight to bring to work with me for lunch every day. I love this recipe so much. I cook quinoa separately and add it to each serving. And sometimes shredded chicken. I am diabetic and it became my go to menu staple last summer. Now I make a double batch! Thank you so much for the life saver recipe and this entire site. I also cook the quiches and lemon bars from the gf almond flour cookbook all the time.

Awesome, totally awesome! I added sirachi and was incredible. Next time I will added some shrimp when I add the broccoli.

Hi, I made this recipe tonight. I used light coconut milk instead of regular. My soup did not come out creamy at all like in the picture. It was more of a broth with a slight coconut flavor… what did I do wrong?
Elana says
Catherine, this recipe calls for full fat coconut milk. To see the types and brands of ingredients I use, click on the green text in the ingredients portion of the recipe.
Jackie says
this looks SO delicious…quick question, with the coconut, will this soup and fresh veggies store in the fridge well for leftover reheat? and how do you combat the skin of coconut milk that forms when it’s refrigerated?
