Healing Green Goddess Soup

This dairy-free, creamy soup is packed with vitamins and minerals, and it's also incredibly delicious. The coconut milk and avocado give it a rich, satisfying flavor.

This recipe was inspired by a trip to Thailand, where I had a similar soup at a local restaurant. I was so impressed by the flavor that I decided to recreate it at home. After a few tries, I finally came up with this recipe, which I think is even better than the original. I've made it for my friends and family many times, and they all love it.
