This is not your ordinary seashells soup. It’s healthy, yummy and very easy to prepare. Adding turmeric powder makes it healthier. The combination of nylon shells and mussels (called green shells locally), coconut milk and lemon grass makes this dish delicious and something that you will crave.

Note from Delish:
I received a message and a request to prepare a good seashell dish. This is what I came up. It’s not the usual seashell soup that you’ve tasted. I even added turmeric powder to make it a healthy one. You can use any seashell that you want, but for this one I just used the common ones, nylon shells and mussels or what we normally call green shells or tahong.
If you have questions about this dish, send me a message or drop a comment below. I’d be happy to answer them.
