Coconut Soup with Bok Choy & Mushrooms

2/22/2014

Bok choy is the heart of this savory soup. I love bok choy. It is full of nutrients. Bok Choy has 110 mg of calcium per cup. It is also loaded with vitamins C, A and K, magnesium, potassium, manganese, and iron. The coconut provides a nutritious source of meat, juice, milk, and oil that has fed and nourished populations around the world for generations. Coconut is highly nutritious and rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is classified as a "functional food" because it provides many health benefits beyond its nutritional content. Enjoy :)
