Curry powder

Straightforward “shortcut” Thai curry paste

The flavour base of this Thai Coconut Soup is a “cheats” do-it-yourself curry paste made with garlic, ginger, lemongrass (recent or paste), brown sugar, fish sauce, curry and coriander powder and chilli paste.

There are far much less elements on this than typical curry pastes however this doesn’t imply it’s missing in flavour! The curry paste packs an unbelievable flavour punch as a result of it’s made somewhat otherwise to normal curry pastes that are sometimes merely whizzed up in meals processors then sautéed:

How to make Thai Coconut Soup with Shrimp/Prawns and Noodles

After we’ve made the curry paste, it’s so simple as including in chicken or vegetable broth and coconut milk, then including the prawns again in simply to heat by. And the soup is completed!

  • Fried Asian Shallots – crispy pops of salty goodness, these are offered in Asian shops and within the Asian part of grocery shops right here in Australia; and

  • Recent chilli – use massive ones if you’re a spice wuss like me, or little fiery ones if you happen to can deal with the warmth!

Extremely versatile recipe

This Thai coconut soup is all in regards to the coconut curry soup broth, so apart from that, it’s actually as much as you what you place in it. I really feel like I say this with virtually all my savoury recipes…. however I assume that’s a good factor! 😂

I’ve used noodles and shrimp/prawns right here which is how I normally serve it. Any sort of noodles will probably be nice with this, although I’m keen on thick egg noodles.

Once I’m counting energy, I skip the noodles and add greens, generally tofu. Asian greens are splendid – and tons of it, as a result of it wilts down.
