Thanks for the recipe. Can I replace avocado oil?
Sure.
Made it for lunch this afternoon, could not have been pleased more!! Had to use olive oil (couldn’t find avocado oil) and used lime juice – Perfect – Already printed recipes for my daughters, and some group texts – Keep meals like this coming!
So glad it was a hit!
What kind of mushrooms would you use for this?
A few different kinds could work well here, ranging from a white button mushroom or crimini mushroom, to a shitaki or a portobello.
This soup was delicious and even better the next day for lunch! I used purple cabbage since that’s what I had on hand and turned out perfect, so flavorful – tasted just like an egg roll, minus the icky fried shell! Highly recommend!
Look like very yummy
