I make a Thai coconut soup a few times a year and, to me, it’s MY chicken soup for the soul. I love it. I normally use the canned coconut you buy in the store, but I asked for the Tropical Traditions Coconut Cream Concentrate to use in its place.
It turned out to be better than the coconut product I was using before! Tropical Traditions is America's source for coconut oil, and you can't go wrong with any of their products. I would also highly recommend the Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil.
