immune boosting vegan & low FODMAP tom kha gai ⠀

immune boosting vegan & low FODMAP tom kha gai
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
this soup is so comforting & delicious but also super healing. I incorporated oyster mushrooms, shimeji mushrooms, red bell peppers, carrots, ginger, lemongrass, and fresh herbs (to name a few) which are super gentle on the gut and offer their own healing properties.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
if you feel yourself getting sick, make a big batch of this soup and sip it throughout the week to keep your immune system strong.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
INGREDIENTS
coconut oil
1/2 jalapeño pepper
1/2 large carrot
1 red bell pepper
1/2 cup soy sauce
1-2 tbsp pureed ginger
2 stalks lemongrass
2 stalks green onion
2 cans light coconut milk
1 cup veggie broth (or water)
1 block soft tofu, cubed
1/2 cup oyster mushrooms
1/4 cup shimeji mushrooms
1/2 tbsp coconut or brown sugar
1 lime, juice from
fresh cilantro leaves
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
INSTRUCTIONS
01 Add diced carrots, sliced red pepper, sliced oyster mushrooms, ginger, shimeji mushrooms and minced jalapeños to a large pot in coconut oil.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
02 Prepare your lemongrass – you will only need the bottom 3 inches or so, peel the tough layers off then use the back of your knife to pound it. This releases the lemony flavors.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
03 Once veggies have softened (not completely – about 10 min on a low heat) add in the lime juice, coconut milk, veggie broth or water, tamari, lemongrass, cilantro, green onions, tofu cubes, and coconut sugar.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
04 Let simmer at a low heat for about 20 min. I prefer to leave my soup cooking on a low heat for longer to really let the flavors soak into the soup. If you’re short on time, you can cook at a higher heat for a shorter duration.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
05 Remove lemongrass and top with extra cilantro leaves and green onions. Serve alone or over rice or noodles.

kabocha squash mac and cheese
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you like my butternut squash mac and cheese you’ll loveeee this one. Kabocha squash is Japanese pumpkin and is very similar to butternut squash. The key difference is it’s low FODMAP, so if you struggle with sensitivities to high FODMAP foods you gotta try it.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
03 Once the squash has cooled scoop out the flesh and add to a blender along with nutritional yeast, milk, dijon mustard, paprika, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Start with 1 cup of milk, blend, & add more if needed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
04 Crank up the heat of your oven to 475. Cook your pasta, drain, then return to it’s pot with the cheese sauce – note there should be more cheese than pasta. Grease a casserole dish with oil then pour your cheesy pasta inside and spread evenly.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
