Notes

BUY IT: AMY’S ORGANIC SOUPS THAI COCONUT
The secret to Amy’s unique flavor is likely in the Thai seasoning—an undisclosed blend that’s simply listed as “spices” on the ingredients label. Amy’s recipe is gluten-, dairy- and lactose-free, vegan (no fish sauce or chicken), and certified kosher.
