My Creamy Broccoli Soup is made with coconut milk and coconut oil.

In case you didn’t know, coconut milk is the liquid that comes from the grated meat of a brown coconut, whereas coconut water is the clear liquid inside the young green coconut.

When using canned coconut milk, shake the can first to even out the creamy thickness of the milk inside. Once opened, cans of coconut milk must be refrigerated and are usually only good for a few days. – Veronica
