Tips & Notes

  • Adjust the amount of curry paste to your preferred level of spiciness. For a milder flavor, use less; for more heat, use more.
  • For an even creamier soup, use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup before adding the coconut milk.
  • This soup freezes well! Allow it to cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Recipe Variations

  • Try adding different herbs for variety.
  • Substitute ingredients based on dietary needs.
