THAI-INSPIRED COCONUT CURRY SOUP WITH VEGETABLES



Thai-Inspired Coconut Curry Soup With Vegetables image

There are dozens of types of curries in Thailand, but most can be categorized as red, green or yellow; this is a streamlined vegetarian version of a red curry, named after the color of chile found in the curry paste. This one is spicy, sweet, creamy and adaptable. When the red curry paste is cooked in oil, the blend of chiles and aromatics like galangal and lemongrass come alive and become the curry's backbone. Because store-bought pastes vary in intensity, this recipe also uses fresh garlic and ginger to ensure a zingy final result. Use any vegetables you like, but it's nice to have one hearty vegetable (like sweet potato) and one crisp one (like snow peas) for a mix of textures. If you find your curry too spicy, stir in a bit of brown sugar. If it's feeling a bit flat, squeeze in a little lime juice or add a dash of soy or fish sauce.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 ounces rice vermicelli noodles
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 cup chopped sweet potato, carrots, parsnips, cauliflower or winter squash
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, finely grated (no need to peel)
4 garlic cloves, finely grated
3 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
1 cup chopped snow peas, bok choy, snap or frozen peas, edamame or green beans
1 lime
Cilantro or basil leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse and set aside.
  • While the noodles cook, in a medium pot, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the sweet potato, ginger, garlic and red curry paste. Season with a pinch each of salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture turns a shade darker and begins to stick to the bottom of the pot, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the coconut milk, snow peas, 1 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the snow peas are bright green and the sweet potato is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Cut the lime in half; squeeze one half into the curry and cut the other half into four wedges. Divide the noodles among bowls, top with the curry and herbs. Squeeze more lime juice over as desired.

THAI GREEN CURRY SOUP



Thai Green Curry Soup image

This amazing Thai green curry soup recipe is ultra-easy to whip up on a weeknight, and completely customizable with your favorite vegetables, proteins and toppings. See tips above for all of the various ingredients you can use!

Provided by Ali

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces rice noodles
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small white onion, peeled and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
8 cups vegetable stock
1 (15-ounce) can coconut milk
3-6 tablespoons green curry paste, added to taste
1-inch piece of fresh ginger, sliced into thick rounds
2 cups cooked chopped protein (such as shrimp, chicken, steak, pork or tofu)
2-3 cups chopped vegetables (see ideas below)
toppings: chopped fresh cilantro, chopped green or red onion, toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • In a large stockpot, cook the noodles (or rice or grains) according to the package instructions. Drain in a colander, then rinse with cold water, and drizzle with a splash of oil (or I like to use toasted sesame oil), and toss until the noodles are evenly coated. This will help prevent them from sticking. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, get your broth going. Heat oil in a separate large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic and sauté for 1 more minute, stirring occasionally. Then add in the veggie stock, coconut milk, curry paste and ginger, and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the broth reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until ready to use. Taste and season with salt and pepper, as needed. Meanwhile...
  • As I mentioned above, you can either cook your protein actually in the broth, or separately (in the oven, on the stove, or in the Instant Pot, depending on your protein) and then add it in at the end.
  • You also have the choice of cooking your veggies actually in the broth, or separately (in the oven, on the stove, or in the Instant Pot, depending on your veggies). Or, of course, feel free to sauté any veggies that you'd like along with the onions when making your broth.
  • Once the elements above are all ready to go, you can either combine and stir them all together in your big stockpot. Or, you can layer them together in your individual serving bowls. Then sprinkle each serving bowl with your desired toppings, serve warm and enjoy!

THAI RED CURRY SOUP



Thai Red Curry Soup image

Our take on Thai red curry soup calls for jasmine rice instead of rice noodles. We puree the soup before adding onions and herbs for a smooth, rich texture. Adding a squeeze of lemon juice at the end brightens up this traditionally-flavored soup. Serve this as a light dinner entree, or pair it with another protein or vegetable side for a heartier meal.

VEGAN THAI CURRY VEGETABLES



Vegan Thai Curry Vegetables image

Drew Spangler Faulkner, a cooking teacher at L'Academie de Cuisine in Bethesda, Md., makes a Thai green curry that is a kind of comfort food. The sauce, made creamy with coconut milk, and gently spicy with the curry paste, is flavorful yet soothing. The vegetables, which are simply dropped into the sauce, and gently simmered for about 12 minutes, turn out tender, not soggy. It is startlingly simple. She makes her own green curry paste, but the recipe calls for any one of three store bought pastes. Although some green curry pastes contain fish or shrimp paste, she has found three brands which do not: Thai Taste, Maesri and Thai Kitchen.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

One 13 1/2-ounce can coconut milk (do not shake can)
1/2 cup vegetable stock
4 teaspoons soy sauce or tamari soy sauce
4 teaspoons palm sugar or brown sugar
6 tablespoons Thai green curry paste, like Thai Taste, Maesri, and Thai Kitchen, none of which have shrimp or fish paste
1/2 cup diced (1/2 inch) onion
2/3 cup diced (1/2 inch) red bell pepper
2/3 cup diced (1/2 inch) zucchini or other summer squash
2/3 cup diced (1/2 inch) peeled sweet potato
2/3 cup sliced bamboo shoots, rinsed and drained
1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into 1 1/2 inch lengths
2/3 cup diced (1/2 inch) Asian eggplant
1 lime
8 large basil leaves, cut into thin chiffonade

Steps:

  • Open the can of coconut milk without shaking it. Spoon 6 tablespoons of the coconut cream from the top of the can into a medium saucepan. Pour remaining contents of can into a medium bowl, and mix well. In a medium bowl, combine vegetable stock, soy sauce, and palm or brown sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Place saucepan of coconut cream over medium-high heat until it begins to bubble. Add curry paste and reduce heat to medium-low. Stir constantly until very fragrant, about 3 minutes; adjust heat as needed to prevent burning. Add onion, red pepper, zucchini, sweet potato, bamboo shoots, green beans, and eggplant. Stir until vegetables are hot, 2-3 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, bring the mixture to a boil, and reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Add the soy sauce mixture and a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice to taste; you may use the juice of an entire lime. Stir and mix well. Add up to 1/4 cup water if the curry seems too thick.
  • To serve, place the curry in a warm serving bowl and garnish with the basil chiffonade. If desired, serve over jasmine rice.
