Recipe notes

Instead of powdered coconut milk, you could use ½ cup of canned thick coconut milk and add another tablespoon of cornstarch (will affect calories.) Or, omit. Coconut milk powder is incredibly handy to have on hand because it keeps forever, you mix up only as much as you need at a time (instead of opening a can most of which you might waste), and, it has a fraction of the calories and fat of canned coconut milk, with all the taste.

Instead of PB2 powder, you can use full-fat regular peanut butter (will affect calories.) PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter has all the taste of peanut butter, with a fraction of the calories and fat, so it’s a great cheat. A jar lasts a long time stored in a cool, dark place.

You can freeze the broth off the mushrooms for another use.

Optional: if you have home canned green bell peppers, you can add those (drained and chopped).
