This coconut lemongrass soup has a mind-blowing flavor that will rock your world! And, it is so quick and easy. I cannot rave enough about this soup. The exquisite flavor will make you weak in the knees. This is one of the most amazing recipes I have ever made. Seriously.

I got this coconut lemongrass soup from Brendan Brazier’s new Thrive Energy Cookbook. People are raving about this book, and now I know why! The recipes are super easy and delicious, and the photography by Kevin Clark is stunning.

I’m a huge fan of Brendan’s books and have featured several of his recipes on the site. But, he’s really stepped it up a notch with this book. It is his best book ever aimed at making plant based eating more accessible.

For those of you who don’t know Brendan, he is the international bestselling author of Thrive, Thrive Foods, and Thrive Fitness. Brendan is head of nutrition for the Garmin-Sharp Pro Cycling Team and nutrition consultant to several NHL, MLB, NFL, MLS, UFC, and Olympic athletes. He is a former professional Ironman triathlete, two-time Canadian ultra-marathon champion, and creator of Vega.

Brendan shares his knowledge in a digestible way that’s easy to understand. There are plant-based nutrition tips (love the alkaline section with food charts), thrive pantry staples, energy boosting tips, and awesome recipes for smoothies, juices, energy drinks, warm elixirs, breakfasts, appetizers, sides, sauces, dips, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, soups, salads, salad dressings, rice and noodle bowls, desserts, and workout recipes. There are also menu plans for transitional, standard, and athletic goals.

I spent two hours flipping through the recipes deciding which one I was going to make first. Some of my favorites include:  Red Lentil Falafels with Artichoke Tapenade, Black Bean Veggie Burgers, Spicy Miso Mushroom Soup, Watermelon, Cucumber & Strawberry Salad, Big Green Curry Kelp Noodle Bowl, Super-Fruit Sangria Smoothie, Kale Mojito, Heavenly Pistachio Bliss, Amino Super-Sprout Juice, Chocolate-Truffle-Caramel Mocha, and Blood Orange & Ginger Citrus Tart.

Just make this coconut lemongrass soup and snag your copy of this book now. You will not be sorry.
