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!


ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms, trim off bottom of stems
1 quart Pacific Foods Organic Vegetable Broth
1 cup coconut milk (canned)
1 head broccoli, trimmed and chopped
1 tablespoon fresh ginger root, minced
2 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt
½ cup cilantro, minced


directions

  1. Warm oil in a large saucepan over medium heat
  2. Add onion, stirring frequently until softened, about 10 minutes
  3. Add mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes
  4. Stir in broth and coconut milk, bring to a simmer
  5. Reduce heat to medium, add broccoli and ginger and cook until broccoli is bright green, 3-5 minutes
  6. Stir in lime juice and salt
  7. Ladle soup into bowls and garnish with cilantro
  8. Serve

  • Julie Genser, founder of Planet Thrive

    Earthwalker is the username that PT founder Julie Genser created for her online interactions so many years ago when first creating Planet Thrive.

    Julie's (Earthwalker's) life was derailed over twenty years ago when she had a very large organic mercury exposure after she naively used a mouth thermometer to measure the temperature of just-boiled milk while making her very first pizza at home. The mercury instantly expanded into a gas form and exploded out the back of the thermometer right into her face. Unaware that mercury was the third most neurotoxic element on Earth, Julie had no idea she had just received a very high dose of a poisonous substance.

    A series of subsequent toxic exposures over the next few years -- to smoke from two fires (including 9/11), toxic mold, lyme disease, and chemical injuries -- caused catastrophic damage to her health. While figuring out how to survive day-to-day, and often minute-to-minute, she created Planet Thrive to help others avoid some of the misdiagnoses and struggles she had experienced.

    She has clawed her way over many health mountains to get to where she is today. She is excited to bring the latest iteration of Planet Thrive to the chronic illness community.

    In 2019, Julie published her very first cookbook e-book called Low Lectin Lunches (+ Dinners, Too!) after discovering how a low lectin, gluten free diet was helping manage her chronic fascia/muscle pain.

    This looks great!

    You could substitute coconut oil for the olive oil and it would be even more delicious (and good for brain health)!

    How do I post a notice about land for sale for a friend who is too sensitive to electronics to use a computer? She wants people living next to her who are either chemcally-sensitive (as she is) or ecologically aware, so would like to let the community know about this AZ land. Thanks.

    Hi Susan, We do not have housing listings on Planet Thrive. You will need to go to http://mcssafehomes.com/ and click on the “place a listing” link in the top navigation menu. The MCSsafehomes site will be transferred to reshelter.org in the next few weeks but you can still find it at http://mcssafehomes.com/. Best of luck! Julie
