Coconut Curry Shrimp Soup

Step 1: Sauté Aromatics
Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 2: Build the Curry Base
Stir in the red curry paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to release its flavor.
Add the coconut milk and chicken or vegetable broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.
Step 3: Cook the Vegetables
Add the mushrooms and bell pepper to the pot. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until tender.
Step 4: Add the Shrimp and Greens
Stir in the shrimp and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until pink and cooked through.
Add the spinach or kale and let it wilt into the soup.
Step 5: Season and Finish
Stir in the fish sauce (if using), lime juice, and sugar (if needed). Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6: Serve
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve on its own or over cooked rice or rice noodles for a heartier meal.
Tips for Success
Protein Alternatives: Swap shrimp for chicken, tofu, or chickpeas for a different twist.
