Coconut Chicken Soup

Description

This soup is a firm favourite of my clients. This recipe was given to me by a Top Uk Chef who cooks for Luxury Health Spa Retreats. We have worked together on many food plans for Health Spas, and this has always been used again and again. Keeps you full and satisfied, especially for those hungrier days.
