Greetings from powder town! We are getting some incredible snow on the mountains this season and it’s all smiles from over here. Nothing warms you up like a bowl of soup after a full day on the slopes. I recently tried this soup from a restaurant in town called 501 Main. I loved the flavor of the coconut milk with the tomato soup so I set on a mission to figure out a recipe and make it at home. I think it came out pretty good! Feel free to use the full-fat coconut milk in this recipe, because it’s a “good fat” so you don’t have to feel bad there. I chose the tomatoes with basil because that seemed like a great flavor to pair with coconut, but regular tomatoes would work too. Hope you enjoy!
