Vegetarian Coconut soup (Banana flower & oyster mushroom)

Vegetarian Coconut soup (Banana flower & oyster mushroom) ต้มข่าเจ ใส่หัวปลีกับเห็ดนางฟ้า

So...I got many request on the Facebook page about this dish so sorry to  delay updating.  I use the same recipe as normal version  of coconut soup I will write it again in the vegetarian one then. Here in Maui we can find anything tropical like banana flower (I put the picture below)

 but if you can't find it or not sure you can eat it don't worry just add anything veggies like mushroom , broccoli, cauliflower or zucchini. And as I alway say use fresh ingredient as you can then you will get great flavor. 
I will recommend  coconut milk brand that I like to cook with #1 Mea Ploy 

My next choice will be #2 Chaokoh
