Fiona says, “This is the perfect soup for these cold winter days. It hits the spot every time! I love the depth of the flavors, it really tantalizes my taste buds. Also this Thai winter soup has the huge added bonus of being one of the few things most people can still enjoy while they’re sick, with extra healing benefits as well! One of my favorite ethnic dishes for certain!”
