    i do not have the nutirional value for this. however.. only the cocomilk is potentially a bit of a calorie trap. even then it is quite dilluted in the soup and fat from cocomilk is quite good for you. For my food diary i just put in the cooked veggies in the soup and then added the estimated cocomilk separately. not ideal, i know

    its so good i want to make out with it. I had to hide it in the fridge so that i wouldnt eat the whole thing
