• 2 tablespoons red curry paste
• 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
• 4 cups vegetable broth

How to Make Creamy Coconut Curry Soup

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until translucent.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the red curry paste to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion mixture. Cook for another minute to enhance the flavors.
4. Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Add the sliced carrot and diced red bell pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
6. Stir in the fresh spinach and lime juice, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the flavors as desired.
8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro and a swirl of heavy cream, if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• For a spicier kick, add more curry paste or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
• Let the soup simmer longer for deeper flavors, but ensure the vegetables don’t overcook.
• Use homemade vegetable broth for an extra boost of flavor.
• If you prefer a thicker soup, blend a portion of it before serving.

Easy Variations

• Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu for added protein.
• Substitute the vegetables with your favorites, such as zucchini or snap peas.
• For a lighter version, use light coconut milk or reduce the amount of coconut milk.
• Mix in some cooked quinoa or rice for a heartier meal.

What to Serve With It

• Crusty bread or naan for dipping.
• A side salad with a citrus vinaigrette.
• Steamed jasmine rice or basmati rice to soak up the soup.
• Crispy spring rolls for a crunchy contrast.
