Thai Coconut Soup
Spicy Thai Coconut Soup made with curry, coconut milk, vegetables and shrimp!
I love anything with curry in it. Soup, noodles, chicken and vegetables you name it. If it’s got curry in it I want it.
This Thai Coconut Soup is a replica of the coconut curry soup I order at a local Thai restaurant. This sweet and spicy soup has a combination of fragrant spicy curry paste mixed with the sweet coconut milk.
The soup can be made in less than 30 minutes start to finish. Everything is cooked in the same pan making for an easy clean up.
To get started on the soup you will need a few of my favorite staples below.
This is such a versatile dish that can be made in many different ways. If you don’t have carrots or mushrooms on hand just substitute for another vegetable like broccoli or red pepper. No shrimp? Why not substitute chicken or make it vegetarian?
Serve this soup as is or over a bowl of white or jasmine rice. Garnish each plate with cilantro and serve with extra lime and sriracha on the side.
Give this recipe a try for a quick weeknight dinner! Enjoy!
